Almighty Father Todays Terrorist Attack Slam

I heard the news today,
Oh Boy

About another Terrorist Attack

That stopped the press

Just another opportunity for all to say

I wonder what made them do it ?

What we're they thinking ?

But why indeed should anyone care ?

I think in order to truly genuinely understand or answer these questions

You would have to be no better and suffer the same unflinching predisposition and God complex

That makes a psychopath tick
and think he has the right to decide ?

Who exactly gets to live and go home 
to their families and loved one's ?
&
Who gets no final goodbye loses a child , mother or be that
father today and have to start planning a funeral ?

It's a strange old world made all the worse by embattled
bitter people searching to appease their own personal
pain by harming other's

Under the pretense and killing in the name of

The Almighty Father

Funom Makama June 25, 2020 at 2:31 PM And to think they do this in God's name is alarming. Religious extremism is a serious menace in the world right now, cutting across underdeveloped, developing and the developed world. Unfortunately, Europe may be a time bomb ticking.. I hope they will continue to be caught. A nice poem. Christopher Flaherty June 25, 2020 at 3:00 PM You are right on all counts Funom and yes europe is a ticking time bomb we can only hope that more continue to get caught than succeed

David Kavanagh June 23, 2020 at 2:53 PM Title is perfect Christopher the SLAM is your trademark, we carry on as normal fight them on London bridge with a Narwhal tusk, I mean even you probably couldn’t think up that insane scenario but that’s the reality of the world we find ourselves cheers David

David Kavanagh June 23, 2020 at 12:01 PM I just call them losers Christopher, for they only have loss to offer, impossible to predict or stop all these aberrations, The biggest insult to these losers is to keep going about our business as we choose to go about it, If we stop they will feel vindicated of achieving something, cheers David Christopher Flaherty June 23, 2020 at 2:29 PM In total agreement David Maybe that should have in fact been the title No you cant stop them as they are quite clearly INSANE

Caren Krutsinger June 22, 2020 at 6:22 PM I agree. Why should we care about their why or the perpetrator at all? Christopher Flaherty June 22, 2020 at 6:38 PM EXACTLY Caren Just gives them credence and indulges them. When the laws that govern us seem to care more about the right's of the perpetrators of crime than there actual victim's. I think we seriously need to reevaluate our sanity
