Terror In Belgium, a Pantoum

Again violence shakes our earth Takes the colours off the light Dogma and blind faith in no dearth Floating clouds of born disquiet Takes the colours off the light Serial bombs at Brussels airport Floating clouds of born disquiet Their suicide bomber’s brutal assault Serial bombs at Brussels airport Belgium capital goes into lockdown Their suicide bomber’s brutal assault At the headquarter of European Union Belgium capital goes into lockdown A repetition of November 13 in Paris At the headquarter of European Union All around confusion nightmarish A repetition of November 13 in Paris Somewhere a rot in social constitution All around confusion nightmarish Puzzled and shocked we cry for solution Somewhere a rot in social constitution Won’t we live in peace and mirth Puzzled and shocked we cry for solution In danger is our home and hearth Won’t we live in peace and mirth Dogma and blind faith in no dearth In danger is our home and hearth Again violence shakes our earth ___________________________________________ March 24, 2016
