Friday Thirteen --Paris Attacks

Yes, they too believed in love, Yet became victims of hate, Men hungry for destruction, And with vicious mindset, Fired deadly bullets around, Lifeless bodies fell on ground. Pain touched every heart, For some, life won't be same, Laughter transformed to cries, Happiness changed to grief, Merciless sinners did it all, At concert, café and football. Flesh and blood piled on roads, Obedient bodies stayed silent, Many were counted dead, Others were counted wounded, And some waited for last breath, Paris mourned the gruesome death. written on 17 November, 2015.
