Rescuers heard tiny cell phone voices, trying in vain to reach loved ones this week
Children's bodies lay strewn in a hellish scene; there was no one left to speak
Virginia Tech's peace and tranquility was shattered by an evil beyond belief
Horrified parents and friends began a search for answers but had to settle for only grief

Students gathered to comfort each other with, candlelight vigils into the night
The drill field overflowed with hand made memorials and, balloons with school colors took flight
Shortly, the media will be on to their next front page story
While all in Blacksburg will try to return to their former glory.

Classes will resume and Hokies will focus on the future once again
And great minds will begin to look for ways to protect young lives from the wrath of crazy men
