James Fraser Poet Rhyme

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

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser October 1, 2014 at 9:02 AM this a great picture of reality nowadays.. so soft Mr. JAmes.. like the chosen words each line not that long but certainly leaves an impact as one goes on.. ;D James Fraser October 2, 2014 at 2:32 PM 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

Robert Lindley September 7, 2014 at 3:47 PM 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. James Fraser September 8, 2014 at 3:05 PM Thank you Robert for your kind comments. It's probably one of my better ones, James........
