NGT NGT Poet Ballad

There Is Terror Everywhere

There is terror everywhere
Terror in the Air, 
Horror in the books and Fair, 
Bible, novels and newspapers.

How the Philistines died
Horror and clamor in their death.
How they fell 
To the sword of Israel's duel.

There is terror everywhere
Terror at the fair, 
Horror in the floods
Sorrow from the crowd.
 
Our hearts darken
and ring out like the bell
Forthwith fall despair beyond repair.
Human limbs fill the day
From the dagger's last play

There is terror everywhere
Terror at the fair, 
Horror in Nature
see the Tsunami upon The Philippines
Like Israel's tempest upon the Philistines.

It crushed souls with unbiased terror-
With it horror, clamor, sorrow-

There is terror everywhere
Horror in the square-
The Al-Qaeda here, Boko Haram there-
The Taliban here, the rebels there
But Nature's Terror's everywhere.
