THROUGH IRONY'S EYES (terrorism )

Folder: 
JOURNAL#26

the voiceless speak

through hollow eyes

of frank disbelief

the motionless move

with only the aid of

idle adjustment

the mysterious

pilfer others shocking secrets

and convoluted ideas

then have the audacity

to call them their own

the helpless stubbornly walk away

when what they need most is to stop

fighting against

those who care and lay down their

fear

after a senseless cyclone

stole from them

every last thing they own

ah, but the pitied

they stand tall

shrugging off all eyes of sympathy

from themselves

disgusted with the idea of public

concern and community

now those I say are the ones

we should watch for

for they are deceivers of even themselves

the most dangerous beings

rivals to deep inner human growth

as self denial is a slow time bomb

who's shrapnel is knives of aged old

anger

waiting to be sharpened

built upon brutal distorted views

the isolated hate monger

just another day's work

further securing the podium of perpetual

unrest

kindergartners of terrorism today

hungry to earn their college degrees

among the vast literature of their

war loving beliefs................
