hardly a day goes by
without the news
of yet more suicide attacks
that **** mothers and children
innocently playing in parks
listening to their favorite songs
friends chatting over tea and coffee
expectant travelers on their way
to business family or lovers
the perpetrators of such deeds
must be a very lonely crowd
with eyes as empty as their hearts
and frozen souls that harbor the illusion
that cowards will turn heroes
that killing innocents is brave
that the world will recognize their great importance
when they bring ****** ends to happy lives
it will not come to pass
no peace
in this or any other world
can find its way to them
who ****** in cold blood
