Terror In Belgium, a Pantoum

Again violence shakes our earth
Takes the colours off the light
Dogma and blind faith in no dearth
Floating clouds of born disquiet

Takes the colours off the light
Serial bombs at Brussels airport
Floating clouds of born disquiet
Their suicide bomber’s brutal assault

Serial bombs at Brussels airport
Belgium capital goes into lockdown
Their suicide bomber’s brutal assault
At the headquarter of European Union

Belgium capital goes into lockdown
A repetition of November 13 in Paris
At the headquarter of European Union
All around confusion nightmarish

A repetition of November 13 in Paris
Somewhere a rot in social constitution 
All around confusion nightmarish
Puzzled and shocked we cry for solution


Somewhere a rot in social constitution
Won’t we live in peace and mirth 
Puzzled and shocked we cry for solution
In danger is our home and hearth

Won’t we live in peace and mirth
Dogma and blind faith in no dearth
In danger is our home and hearth
Again violence shakes our earth
