Marathon Mania
The marathon runners took pride in the race
Until all the madness invaded their space
Killing and maiming,and stealing their joy
Overturning their victory with the death of a boy
My heart is so grieved that a child is lost
As well as the others paying the cost
God give us mercy and show us your face
That we, in our weakness,would experience grace
