After failing, they cling to changing facts by terror and thunder.

Tonight in Kabul
there will be terror or death.
All other choices
flew away yesterday
on a plane crowded
with last hopes.

A clear blue sky drawn
                      as terror interrupted
                                          this calm September

The German Shepherd terrifies me.
More than any animal I see.
So I stay away,
Every single day
In his giant jaws my flesh I see.

Rock-sat. Whilst dashed, smashed against
Girl, frail; by a chilled sea.
Its terror, life's! Shore-faced there.
And invigoratingly!

Some cannibals had captured me
A dinner for clan
What worse could fate plan
We’re vegan a man said to me

Premium Member Requiem

Comes the fall of an empire, Terror spreads like wildfire, Miss Liberty blushes, No Moses in the rushes, Silence is the hymn from the choir.

Lost In Mesopotamia

The cacophony of birds
sounded like
the babble of Babylon
no terror
better describes
the faces of Babel
than Edvard Munch's
The Scream.

Premium Member Bombing In Mumbai

Was it him?
No,
his brothers
tied grenades.
on dead black birds
heaved them high.
to fly, wings tied back,
up to a third story balcony.

    America plagued by terror
      Murder and hate wherever you turn

A stranger is such a surprise!
I see the terror in your eyes.
You will know my law.
You will meet my claw
And nourish the spiders and flies.

The cage locked so tight
knows not day from night.
The girl inside it
with terror must sit.
Just she and each wall
hear feared footsteps fall.

the darkness, a-ha! the cash!
he stumbles, door creaks...
waves of guilt, waves of terror
engulf him, nerves shot, gills green

Good

Why does this hurt?
Love should be good
Don't burn us down
And dance through the ashes
Of our terror
Of our blight
When once this love was good

Exploding my emotions
Fear repercussions
Of life’s blight on me
