a sea of humanity in the devil's wake
savages bent upon evil comes to call

two mighty blasts; conscience set adrift
flesh ripped from legs, only bone remains

rumor has it they have Saudi national suspect
they refuse to give credence to the rumor

whether it is true or not I guess we'll find out
at the time and place they think is right

ah, but if it had been a right wing nut
we'd know all about him with pictures holding guns

he'll have his day in court, taxpayers foot the bill
lawyers will blame greedy America, not him

one more layer of the sin of America
for kowtowing to our enemies

taking honest people's guns away from them
tell me, how many guns were used in Boston yesterday?

None!!!

As it should be, a very Emotional write!  Those people who where killed, maimed, etc. etc. they were us!  Us! Innocent people! Us, just hanging out and doing what we do and that's what brings it so close to home. It's terror right at our very own front doors. Anyways, good write!  ...and Thanks for encouraging and giving space to vent! Enjoyed!

Bob. Thank you for your wonderful rant. America has to stop being who we are and go back to being who we were. Since Vietnam we have been our own worst enemy. Our real enemies have infiltrated America to the highest levels of government and educations systems, etc.

No matter who, what or why it happens it seems hatred has a lust for the blood of innocents.  It is sad and shameful beyond tears.
Thank you for standing up and having your say!
