Life can be cruel sometimes-
Giving, other times taking away.

People can also be cruel.

Don't ask me why, don't ask me how
Things that are done are so inhumane.

Explosions and fire, screaming and tears.

Tell me, who would do this?
Tell me, why would someone do this?

Tell me. Please.

There's no doubt about it
Terrorism was the goal.

No matter who it was

All we can do as Americans,
Maybe people of Christ,

Is to pray for the victims and their families.

They need hope.
Give them that.
I wrote this because of the bombs that went off near the finish line during the Boston Marathon. This was a tragic event, because many were injured and a few people have died (since I last heard). An 8-year-old died.
