Belt of No Faith

Early morning
In various places
Faiths of many
Wearing different faces
 
Families descend
To spend their time
Families intend
To queue in line
 
Shoppers gather
Sellers sell
Many hundreds
Getting on so well
 
A face so different
Enters the scene
Although they blend
The look of mean
 
Position chosen
Before this day
No thought or care
Of who they slay
 
Connection met
Explosion spew
Scarlet life
In sporadic flew
 
Innocents scattered
Families torn
These newly called martyrs
From natures womb born
 
Media coverage
To foreign lands
Showcase this horror
By cowardly hands
 
Carnage cleared
Blue skies return
To witness the horror
Where many lives turned
 
This belt of no faith
Triggered for what
Remembered today
Tomorrow forgot
 
The people's people
Return every day
Market Square Hero's
In-spite of the slay

Enjoyed this writing. Bad things that happen in this life get our attention and makes us appreciate the good. My daughter was telling me about an incident here yesterday or last night where a couple she thought in Florida had adopted 12 handicapped children and last night some people about 7 of them went in on the family and killed the mother and father.
