war rages on

1st it was 9/11
plane hits the twin towers
building explosion
chemicals scattered like roaches
falling from the skies
people ran
they scream
they cried
innocent lives gone instantly

then war in the middle east
civilians acting like wild beast
killing each other
killing oneself
there is no remorse to human life
state of mind filled with frenzy
anarchy
chaos
disorder
it's insane
in the membrane
but sad
this is reality
cowardly act by cowardly ones

this just in
breaking news
two explosions
blew up near the finish line
in boston where the outcome is definitely not fine
more people ran
more people cried
more people panicked
more people scared like innocent children
for what reason
right now, who knows why
who know who did it
there are consequences for terrorist attack
whether its in iraq
or anywhere else
another explosion at the j.f.k. presidential library
one thing is certain
whoever did this
knew what was taking place
knew what time it was going to happen
question will always remain
why? why?
my heart goes out to all
that lost their lives; i'm grateful of my life, that's why im always walking tall
when will this end
will it ever end
as people, we need to honor and respect human life
if this war on terror continues
whether its terrorist
rape
gun violence
gang violence
war on drugs
or anything else
the cycle will never be broken like a curse from an evil witch
for some people, life goes on with no sense of grandeur; ain't that a bitch
