So sad, but so true....happening again and again...year after year, everywhere....some young man is mourned. Well written, James.

Wow, the tempo and brevity of each amazingly descriptive line are brilliant, James! Unfortunately we have no way to control the suicide bombers and their victims' families are left in grief. One for my favorites. Love, Carolyn
