The sound was deafening The earth griped groaned and grumbled Beneath their feet Seconds of mobocracy Followed by An eerie silence of confusion Shock and awe The sun sat high unnerving As the dust settled Exposing the grotesque macabre That is now their reality Tear trickled traces speckled with blood seared Upon muddled faces covered of soot Stood surreal against the carnage Unabled to grasp what has happened Trudges about in symbiotic aloofness Slowly a crescendo of wails A wretched affair Sliced into the mid day air Sending chills to all within ear Sirens heard from the distance Approaches quickly Adding to the cacophony of sound An orchestra of pain Reminiscent of Dante's Inferno Rock rescuers to the core Bodies strewn and dispensed Lie unrecognizable Young and old alike For death does not discriminate As neighbors extend helping hands Black and white Slowly the healing begins We can breathe again Live again Trust again For surely hate cannot be Allowed to win The outpouring of support was astronomical The love felt was undeniable People say I'm ideological But love conquers hate And that's Indisputable

In The Absence Of God
The sound was deafening The earth griped groaned and grumbled Beneath their feet Seconds of mobocracy Followed by An eerie silence of confusion Shock and awe The sun sat high unnerving As the dust settled Exposing the grotesque macabre That is now their reality Tear trickled traces speckled with blood seared Upon muddled faces covered of soot Stood surreal against the carnage Unabled to grasp what has happened Trudges about in symbiotic aloofness Slowly a crescendo of wails A wretched affair Sliced into the mid day air Sending chills to all within ear Sirens heard from the distance Approaches quickly Adding to the cacophony of sound An orchestra of pain Reminiscent of Dante's Inferno Rock rescuers to the core Bodies strewn and dispensed Lie unrecognizable Young and old alike For death does not discriminate As neighbors extend helping hands Black and white Slowly the healing begins We can breathe again Live again Trust again For surely hate cannot be Allowed to win The outpouring of support was astronomical The love felt was undeniable People say I'm ideological But love conquers hate And that's Indisputable
