It Could Happen

in the morning hours you wake up nice n fresh

unaware what the day holds for you

you brush your teeth and comb your hair

not knowing that theres a war goning on out there

you feed your dog and make your lunch

underneath your car someone randomly placed a homemade bomb

you walk to the front door to go to your car and the phone rings

its your co-worker outside waiting to surprise you with a ride

so your day goes on as it usually would 

while on your street the violence continues

shooting and looting and blood everywhere

someone pulls the trigger and hits your car

blowing it up into the stars

you cheated death one time too many its fair to say your damn lucky



this was a random act of violence 
no one was hurt while writing this 

lol

aww a great poem and it is true we do not know where ppeople are going to plant home made bombs, thanks for your kind comments on my poem my heart is yours, before knowing God we like manythings its only when we find him we relize we don't need anything else, he gives us our hearts desires, I used to like bob geldof trying to feed the world and standing for fathers rights he did some great work but that doesnt get us to heaven or bring us salvation, I am glad i woke up to the truth God bless you
