Another

Oh no. Another terrible shooting

This time in the Netherlands 

I didn’t want to write about it 

I didn’t feel right about it 

It would seem to be exploiting the tragedy 

But I felt the need to remind myself that 

There is still great beauty in the world 

Sometimes we need to go find it

 

In the Netherlands in Amsterdam

There stands a museum containing

Beautiful works of great art

lf you’re ever around there 

You may care to pay it a visit

I’m sure you can reach it

By bus or train or minivan

Yes Just go there 

Take the van Go

 

In the seventies a man who 

Is now in his seventies himself

Wrote a beautiful song 

You could not go wrong by listening 

Just don’t even pretend that 

By the time you get to the end 

Your eyes won’t be glistening 

 

Dedicated to Vincent van Gogh

and all victims of senseless violence
