There Is Terror Everywhere

There is terror everywhere Terror in the Air, Horror in the books and Fair, Bible, novels and newspapers. How the Philistines died Horror and clamor in their death. How they fell To the sword of Israel's duel. There is terror everywhere Terror at the fair, Horror in the floods Sorrow from the crowd. Our hearts darken and ring out like the bell Forthwith fall despair beyond repair. Human limbs fill the day From the dagger's last play There is terror everywhere Terror at the fair, Horror in Nature see the Tsunami upon The Philippines Like Israel's tempest upon the Philistines. It crushed souls with unbiased terror- With it horror, clamor, sorrow- There is terror everywhere Horror in the square- The Al-Qaeda here, Boko Haram there- The Taliban here, the rebels there But Nature's Terror's everywhere.

Hey, deep pathos is portrayed in your writing. What we feel foe those victims will forever be in our hearts. Love that thrust of emotion. >>>HENSHAW<<<
