Another Terror Attack

Saw the new today 
Another terrorist attack 
   this time in Tel Aviv
When will this end?
   The rock band U2 sang about 
 the violence 
   in Ireland's past
and their words were " I can't believe 
     the news today 
I can't close my eyes and make it go away "
  The world is often a sad place 
      Can the people in it ever get along? 
   Let us hope so 
Another terrorists attack
  4 killed 5 wounded 
I believe is the total 
      People's lives 
cut off early 
   like a branch 
broken off an old tree
Let us sing the songs of peace!
Let us learn the paths of peace"
  Eventually swords will be beaten 
into ploughshares 
  Speedily - and in our days...
