Sri Lanka Blasts

Catholic churches were attacked in Sri Lanka
Many of our brothers and sisters were massacred 
By 
Fanaticism and ignorance
In 
The name of their God
But
When would we understand that there is only one God,
And that is the God of love,
That we all are his children,
All embraced by Him the same,
None being loved less than the other,
None being put higher or lower than the other?

Those who committed this abominable crime,
Thinking they will be rewarded with a place in paradise,
They soon will find out that their miserable souls
Will be condemned to eternal damnation
For committing: 
Patricide, 
Matricide and 
Fratricide!

* CNN: Sri Lanka blasts. At least 327 dead and more than 500 injured 
in multiple church and hotel explosions. 

R.I.P. our beloved parents, children, brothers and sisters.

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 4/24/2019 4:04:00 AM These senseless deaths break my heart knowing how such loss will devastate the loved ones who must remain with their sorrow. No God would condone murder, why can't they understand. Your poem expresses this pain and sorrow so well Demetrios. xxoo Login to Reply

Maria Williams Date: 4/22/2019 11:25:00 PM Murder is murder. It is cowards who use the name of religion to cover their violent attacks. There is no religion that tells one to kill in the name of God. A wonderful and passionate poem for the victims dearest Demetrios.

Tom Cunningham Date: 4/21/2019 4:25:00 AM What god do they believe in ?, Certainly not the god that encourages love and forgiveness to all mankind. May they burn in hell for their acts of evil I would struggle to forgive these monsters.

Ann Gilmour Date: 4/21/2019 3:49:00 AM I truly admire your utter devotion dear Demetrios, for at times of such horror the beliefs I have are severely tested, as I question - why?
