Consider Then

News flash
Paris attacks;
Violence strikes

~~~~~~~~~


Innocent deaths
Terror unveils;
Death delivers

~~~~~~~~~


Madness conspires
Human debris;
Bigotry unleashed

~~~~~~~~~


Evil men scheme
Distorted agendas;
Self-destruct roams

~~~~~~~~~


Good people die
Bloodbath escalates;
Terror unleashed

~~~~~~~~~


Signs of our times
Deceptive turbulence;
Mortal casualties

~~~~~~~~~


Moods swayed
Fear catapults;
Distorted means

~~~~~~~~~


Uneasy chimes
Violent crimes;
Explosive times!

~~~~~~~~~


Details of gore
News galore;
Killing fest

~~~~~~~~~


Retribution
Constitution;
Revolution

~~~~~~~~~


Sorrow sums
Deadly outcomes;
Cruelty strikes

~~~~~~~~~


Newsprint copy
Headline news;
Terror firms madness 

~~~~~~~~~


Propaganda hurls
People fodder;
Bombs and bullets

~~~~~~~~~


Create if you must
Lodge your complaint;
Body bags not included!

~~~~~~~~~


Atrocities 
Exclusive news;
Pain sells well

~~~~~~~~~


Face to face
Terror redecorates;
Body debris trophies

~~~~~~~~~


Why do you do
The things you do?
Tell me

~~~~~~~~~


Love hurts
Violence hurts;
We all hurt

~~~~~~~~~


Precious times
Ransoms forfeit;
Sad humanity mourns

~~~~~~~~~


The cycle of circles
Bad and good;
Seeking balance

~~~~~~~~~


Maybe we can
Find tomorrow;
Safely better?

~~~~~~~~~
