Only ten

Awoke this morning feeling great,

No shadow cast upon my demeanour.

Forgotten worries of the news of late,

Replaced by natures beautiful clamour.

***

Stressless commute this morning,

Filling the ravenous soul with hope.

Forgotten spree of horrific French killing,

No need to kill fears, just cope...

***

Yet on a post, there read a sign,

Ten year old girl, blasts twenty!

Black on white by design,

Ice cold fear gripped me a plenty!

***

What is wrong with those words?

A girl of ten dead, not yet lived.

Bomb strapped to her by cowards!

How absurdly depraved!

***

Where oh dear me where,

Does it say in any holy teachings,

Kill your enemies without a care,

By using innocent younglings?

***

What lies must they have weaved,

To embolden a naive child, pray tell.

So brazenly she was deceived, 

That for their sins, she suffers in Hell.

***

What new horrors of surprise,

Do these haters and scaremongers, 

Have for us before the next sunrise?

All they do is awake the warmongers. 

***

I pray Gods patience does not expire,

For this sick depravity,

As madmen build their fear empire,

Culminating in world ending calamity. 

***

All our sons and daughters,

Have not yet experienced the fullness of life.

It is wrong to be forced by haters,

To experience only the makings of their strife.
