London was still full of
fire-bombed vacant lots.
Ruins and rubble
were a kids natural playground,
the deeper the devastation
the better our play.
There was always a chance
to find a broken toy
to abuse.
Back at home,
not once did we consider
what that unidentifiable
gray soot-like substance
on our clothes contained,
but at night
our dreams were troubled
by the eerie whistling
of long dead postmen.

over eighty but still smiley and spry
he met each new day with joy in his eyes
he loved to golf and he loved to bowl
both were his fun and fulfilling goals
one day playing golf with his skilled swing
he scored below par - his favorite thing
he rushed home - happy he had done so well
grabbed his wall phone - there were friends to tell
beginning to dial - he soon lost his smile
as feelings bombed - he just stood awhile
leaning on a wall - he thought of his friends ....
sadly - no one to call - every good life ends
phased and depressed that on that day
truth had hurt his old heart that way
he gasped sad sighs - sank into a chair
and prayed to turn numb then and there

Another Bang
Another Bomb
Another loved 1 gone
And what are we told
Bombs and Gun's don't kill
Terrorists and Fanatics do
Which is in part true
But without bullet's and bomb's
Surely it would be harder to do
But does anyone care anymore anyway
It's just another bang
Just another bomb
Just another dark day
The modern way
Hate vents
Indiscriminately
On individuals
In the wrong place at the wrong time
Or the right place at the right time
If you believe in everything happens for a reason
Unfortunately bad reason's

There is no truce for Hamas, these terrorist murderers not only kill Israelis,
but allow their Palestine citizens, men, women, and completely innocent
children to be slaughtered as shields for their insane and cowardly cause, I hope
they (HAMAS) and other terrorist groups are all blown to HELL! Then maybe we
can finally end WAR!
