A reaction to acts of terrorism.

Again, suicide bombers strike
  In peaceful markets, leaving
Dead grandmothers and school children,
  While khaki-clad soldiers
Demolish houses, leaving peasants
  Without shelter.

Mad men threaten to unleash
  The most horrific dogs of war
Unless their unreasonable
  Demands are met.

In the executive suites across the land
  Men and woman already rich
Rape our bank accounts
  In order to become richer still,
And express only regret
  That they are caught in the act.

Some people drive around in
  Fancy cars, with flashing jewels
And clothes with designer labels,
  While kids with distended bellies
Cry at their mothers’ shrunken breasts.

Is this the end of a world of reason,
  Or, are we living in a nightmare
From which it is impossible to wake?
  Is God real, or am I just dreaming?
