Poem depicting the horrors of terrorism. It commemorates the appalling suicide bomb attacks in Peshawar, Pakistan.
TERROR IN PESHAWAR
A bomb blast roars; the maimed throngs wail
Blood and dust spew; how the dead amass!
Torn body parts steam in sun and fire
The sirens strike dread; their moan a dirge.
All bonds are shards; the mothers who salved
will fester in earth; no mirth for babes.
A woman with child who glowed at gore
Plunged all to doom with powder and fuse.
