I cried today as I watched the news
Hours on end of terror and torment
Filled the airwaves cascading down
Into everyone’s lives
At last count 38 people left loved ones to mourn
Torn from this life before their time
So many more left wounded and shocked
When will this torment end?
What is it with humans?
Why do we feel the need to destroy each other?
When will we realise that hate and destruction
Brings just more devastation
There are no winners to be found
I pity those who follow the path of destruction
I pray that the children of today grow up
Not in the footsteps of the adults who lead them
But with love and compassion in their hearts
I pray that the children of today are our hope
Of peace and acceptance of each other tomorrow
Bringing with them a freedom for humanity
