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 Heroes In spite of the slay < :( >

It beggars belief what these cowards do to the innocent. What they do goes against their Faith, so what loyalty does this show. None, and the many Clerics within their Faith should be taking such trash out of their clans/tribes. Thank you once again for the visit the my poetry Olive, it always makes me smile, James :)x

I give this a solid 7 for about a dozen reasons. The message is true. The delivery superb and the heart written in it so evident my friend! A very hard topic to write about but you did so very well.
