Terror Attack

You’re out to stroll or on a bike, A lovely day, a sky of blue, When suddenly, a terror strike And sadly, that’s the end of you. We hear the news; we’re stunned and shocked. The TV shows the blurry tape. The perpetrator’s plan, half-cocked, Did not allow him to escape. Investigations start, but still, The wounded ache, the dead are gone. We’re horrified, but know the drill – We move along and carry on.

And everyone continues to claim that its the religion of peace. Its supposed to be to do unto others as you want them to do to you and NOT kill those who are supporting you with their hard earned tax dollars.

Hi Ilene. It is terrible and we cannot go on like this with ongoing attacks here at home. Changes need to happen. Law enforcement cannot keep up with this. It is very sad.
