Evil Lives

The world speaks of tragedy and questions was it hate, terrorism or less tempered aggressions, those are the words news makers use so competitively but history is sadly, inconsolably repetitive. there it is again, another bomber exploding to entice the world into imploding. Deep in the quiet tears of our revealed hearts weeps silently the saddened fears of how or why it starts. Because you look a little different, because your faith makes you more belligerent; because your country is not like mine and immigrants flock to leave their lives behind. A country and its philosophies grew far too liberal much the same as these not quite so new but visceral. Peace is too somber, to boring to live forever war, hate and death satisfy a more greedy pleasure. Land and hubbles torn apart and laws put asunder so that masked warriors can more easily kill and plunder. Building stones and beams, blood and bodies lie in rubble guilt and innocents, the count increased and then redoubled. Police, firefighters, mayors, senators, premiers and presidents conversate, condemn and censure with grandiose dissent. and Still the evil lives burning forever images into our eyes, two towers falling from the sky.

If we could only unify with thoughts and control each other, forbidding all evil actions...a boon I'll surely ask GOD if I ever meet it. At least one common thing to share with our fellow human beings!! Well done for the contest! :)
