Requiem -- 7/15/2016

When the truck plowed in the crowd 

hatred turned into twisted bodies, 

contorted faces, and broken limbs,

we stopped to think, take everything in,

but nothing seems to make a bit of sense,

his mind and heart instruments of death, 

destroying in its wake eighty-four innocent souls,

 many ran, others died on the street, 

fractured and mauled bodies 

victims of an ideology.
