So Much Death

So many, so dead

Where did they come from, and why?

Why do they hate us?



So much death, so much

Young people die much too soon

Parents live to mourn.



Some of the young died,

Because their vests hid the bombs.

Executioners.



What should we do now?

How can we stop all of this?

Or must more die first?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
