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

Image may contain: indoor

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! © Demetrios Trifiatis 21 April 2019 * 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.

Educating the soul is not done in a human classroom my friend. My emotions too raw to write on the subject, with any useful purpose, glad you managed and hope your words deter someone from going down wrong path. Best wishes as always David

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

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

Their souls will be rested but humanity will suffer as long as we allow these things to happen! Thank you dear Vijay for caring!

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.

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
