Missing and presumed...
Hearts of innocents consumed,
Peace and Hope shattered
with falling concrete and glass,
while some dance with glee
at another world tragedy, for you see,
these dancers mistakenly believe this to be
the righteous path to the Almighty.
Now an international war on evil
and terrorism will surely follow,
and more innocents will undoubtedly die,
but what of the people who encourage these acts?
Will there be any justice on earth?
Will the ones who do these deeds suffer?
Will we all hold onto our humanity
and our sanity?
The terrorists will continue to win
long after the dust settles
if we let them divide and separate us
from our goals of world Peace and Unity.
May all the good hearts and minds around the globe
embrace love, and reject and resist these forces
which seek to divide and conquer the human spirit.
And pray for the thousands who will not see
God's sun rise another day.

oh yes......my friend, this is full of hope and very sound advice on a night of tragedy such as this one was.  It put a beacon of light into the dust and the darkness that is hanging like a blanket of gloom on our country.  Thank you for this....

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...

Thank you for putting into words what so many of us are feeling tonight.

Thank. There isn't much more to say, but I am glad we can join hands together to deny those murderers what they want most...which is terrorize us to the point of giving up our belief in world freedom and unity.

Thanks, Charisma.  The attacks on innocent Muslims in this country are a horrible extension of terrorism. We need to prosecute the guilty without persecuting more innocents. I hope we stay focussed on the true enemies of humanity, and that we do not harm those being deemed guilty simply by incidental  association, or by race or religion. We have to join hands around the world to stop the terrorists.
