Fireworks pop in the distance
As people's shadows embrace them
A day of celebration turned dark
As fireworks turn into bullets
And bullets claim several flowering lives
Smiles and chatter fade into
Emptiness and silence
And suddenly it is no longer just fifteen
But a whole community
Being hunted
Laid in straits barren
Vultures circling above again
Rot and rotting
And death again
Til we grieve and mourn and
Fill ourselves with hatred again
None of this should have happened
And none of the ensuing events as well.
Should we not question our actions
Question our reality
Why a whole community
Is judged by the actions of a small small minority.
There is a right way to go about things
Just not like this...
And the peaceful sea,
The law of the land
Comes in after its low tide,
Coming back in to claim
The innocent short lived trust
And sow ostracism in its place
Let these souls rest in peace
And let the living grieve; instead of fearing for their lives.

May the souls of those claimed rest in peace, no evil act is forgiveable. May the Jewish community never have to suffer an event like this again. May all others be safe as well. No one deserves this. Sadly, these lives were taken forcefully, unjustly on a day of celebration. And sadly, the Muslim community is being targeted by media, police and politically. This sort of response only sows further fear and hatred.
