So bombed out
Were we
an unknown dead
killed by mad worship
to a faith
of no real relevance
to our
demise
Our lives as
relative innocents…. blown away
As blasted souls
lost to rigors of dogma
seek…legitimacy of purpose
in politics
of vengeance
Were we
mere strangers expendable
as collateral in a war
pray who’s…?
that justifies
lunacy
such as this
Did we
give cause
or fuel agendas of hate
will our deaths bring to you…absolution
or your creed
success
or succor
Our brothers
sisters wives and husbands
children and parents
all cry…in desperation
will terror birth ever
lasting peace
or justice
Will silence
mark dead our state
or fan to flames
pyres…of a rage alive
consuming both
purpose
and cause
To ashes…and dust…of extinction
