13 Beautiful Souls
Haikus dedicated to the victims of the Columbine School Shootings in the exact order they died in
(Rachel Scott)
Great beautiful soul
Taken by the shroud of death
Now she lives in us
(Daniel Rohrbough)
Died a hero’s death
Gave his life to animals
To free all his peers
(Kyle Velasquez)
Gentle and peaceful
Filled with love and affection
He will never share
(Steve Curnow)
A fan of Star Wars
Dreamt of being with the stars
Now he won’t come back
(Cassie Bernall)
The girl who said “yes”
She died by the devil’s hand
A martyr for God
(Isaiah Shoels)
Tortured and ashamed
Those last words of hatred
Burned his restless soul
(Matthew Kechter)
Broken by cold death
That smile once shining with joy
Broken by bullets
(Lauren Townsend)

Caring for people
(John Tomlin)

Very noble and hard working
Death was his reward
(Kelly Fleming)
