Notes About The Poem

" SRI LANKA BLASTS " MY PHOTO, ©  FROM MY CHURCH IN GREECE I

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 April 24, 2019 at 4:04 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

Maria Williams April 22, 2019 at 11:25 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. May they R.I.P Thanks for sharing and caring....Maria xxx Demetrios Trifiatis April 23, 2019 at 3:08 AM Dearest friend Maria. God bless you for caring , as always, for your fellow humans. God bless !

Sunlite Wanter April 21, 2019 at 11:03 AM Thank you for writing this passionate poem! Due to our time difference, it is about the first thing I heard on Easter morning. We are angry and sad. Demetrios Trifiatis April 23, 2019 at 3:04 AM I think it is a moral obligation for each one of us to react dearest, Sunlite. Thank you for caring!

Vijay Pandit April 21, 2019 at 7:28 AM May they rest in peace...some mad people out there. I join you my friend in your prayers. Demetrios Trifiatis April 21, 2019 at 9:31 AM Their souls will be rested but humanity will suffer as long as we allow these things to happen! Thank you dear Vijay for caring!

Anne-Lise Andresen April 21, 2019 at 4:25 AM - There is so much hatred in our world ... people kill without blinking ... scary and cruel - R.I.P. - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Demetrios Trifiatis April 21, 2019 at 4:59 AM YES, there is dearest, Anne-Lise! What a tragedy this day of Christianity's glory! Thank you for caring my good friend. God bless you!

Tom Cunningham April 21, 2019 at 4:25 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. Demetrios Trifiatis April 21, 2019 at 4:54 AM ...certainly they believe not in the God of love my dearest brother, Tom! Thank you for caring! Be blessed!

Ann Gilmour April 21, 2019 at 3:49 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? Keep safe dear friend. With kindest thoughts sent to you and your loved ones on this Easter Sunday - Ann xx Demetrios Trifiatis April 21, 2019 at 4:53 AM What a crime against the love of our Lord! Thank you for caring dearest, Ann!
