why..?

.



we have all been
dismembered
...this morning

we have all been
...bereft of our innocence

...taken off familiar streets
into dark and frightening places
...knowing that we would never go back


we have all been given
a glimpse...into the eyes
pure evil
...and we recoil in horror

what kind of god.....
..can allow free will...
that contains such evil...
...in its inventory
?


incomprehensible god
please take that little boy
into your arms
...and make him
forget the things
he's seen and felt
......over the past 48 hours

This piece reflects a sentiment that we all feel.

Thank you for putting it into words.
