Pandemonium

Passionate for wrong causes
Angst against one and masses
Not enough compassion in humans
Death sprawled before innocent eyes
Ears inundated with deafening cries
Malls, clubs, beaches all are unsafe
Ominous fear looms large in each face
Nation, race, religion reign supreme
Ignored lies the bond of humanity
Under a sun of love and tolerance
My Lord, let us all rise and thrive
