Am I On Or Off Track

Am I On or Off Track

About train crash with questions were barraged
Do they think that it had been sabotaged?
So on tracks improvements may be made
While several lives away already did fade.

God, with all of your generous consideration
How could this have happened to our nation?
Those killed were many of our brightest
And you would want to know very finest.

Why in our thoughts exists much turbulence
Trying to make sense out of all the suspense
Chances are they might be a mother or dad
Was not one of them, and God I'm sure glad.

Have some of the facts frantically been hidden
About happenings in Boston and are forbidden
Our loved ones endured one last single breath
So the Boston Beast should be put to death.

Has Poetry Soup ever had two poems of the 
day by the same person before. That would
be interesting.
