What Is Terror?

AL17

It is the reflection of broken hearts

In strewn pieces of shattered glass,

It is the reflection of profound fear

In the glisten of a falling tear

 

It surges like a merciless storm,

Calling death to take its cruel form,

And stamp on joy with feet of horror,

And snatch from children a glorious tomorrow

 

What’s wrong is right, and what’s right is wrong - 

Howls of pain seem to be life’s song,

Sullied and bloodied are the lives of the innocent,

And justice is murdered with the knife of the ignorant

      very evocative imagery.

      I particularly liked the last couplet. "Sullied and bloodied are the lives of the innocent,

      And justice is murdered with the knife of the ignorant"
