What goes through his mind before the event?

When the suicide bomber stood,

he wondered if he could

take lives,

there was a basic truth

that he had not quite grasped,

if you continue to destroy

everything God made,

fairly soon there will be nothing left,

he had no complaint,

but he had to learn restraint,

he walked in and felt a depression,

a slight one,

as people looked on with such a mortified expression,

his mind corroded,

the bomb exploded,

common sense derailed,

leaving behind a sense of betrayal.

    This poem is not bad, but I would have liked a bit more. For me it ended too soon; it went by quickly, but still a very provocative piece of writing.

    I`m bakc! Spread the news, please!
