ACT OF TERRORISM
Can anybody feel safe
Today anywhere ? NO !
Open opportunity
For anybody to strike
Terrorists use anything
Everyday things ~ Planes
Road vehicles ~ things we all use
Really neutral things ~ BUT
On the Terrorists hands ~ they
Really become deadly weapons
I LOVE NEW YORK ~ AMEN
Some day it will all end ~ EVIL
MUST not prevail against GOOD !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN

Well said Brian - another outrage - and I guess there will be no end to it all.
Agree with Michael!
Thanks MICHAEL for a positive comment. When I commented on your Poem it occurred to me that "Acts of Terrorism" had become an "Everyday occurrence" which is a sad comment on today's society ! We have everything but lack compassion ! I'm in reflective mode today ~ Yours BRIAN
Good write Brian. Maybe I should look into some Psalms that don't lend themselves to the genre of joyful hymns? I could just SAY them, write them as poems. There are quite a number. The Psalmist's call down vengeance, punishment, etc on their enemies. A little different to 'All things bright and beautiful' I know!
Fro example: 'Happy shall they be, who shall take your little ones and dash them against the stones'. i.e. who murder their enemies children. Yet the Jews had experienced the same, or worse, themselves, from their enemies. It may be left out from Psalm 137 sometimes, as an embarrassment. Not that it should be tit-for-tat. It's more Old Testament-type thought. Though we might wish it at times too, in the current New Testament days.
Thanks STEVE ~ As you know I am an OPTIMIST & an ENCOURAGER (like all Liverpudlians ~ as Ken Dodd said "You have to be a Comedian to live here" !). But today even I have struck a mournful gong and posted in requiem BLACK ! As a Queen's Scout ~ I smile and whistle under all difficulties ~ but some days I just feel like crying ~ BRIAN
Tragic the time when outraged the populace becomes afraid - well expressed the recent atrocities in New York Brian.
Thanks FAY ~ What they try to do is strike terror in all our hearts ! But you and I believe in a Higher Power ~ which always gives us inner peace ~ AMEN. Thanks for your comment ~ Yours as ever BRIAN
Buongiorno
Caro Amico, BRIAN!
Today truly is a sad day!
Anytime this carnage
happens is sad!
However, this
is too close to home!
My mom lives five minutes
away from where it happened!
I had just stepped out to
do some food shopping,
when it all happened!
Too close to home! Very
frightening! Thank God
she did not have the
TV on! She would’ve
panicked! At 95 years
old, I don’t know how much
more she can endure. She
witnessed the HORRORS
of 09/11!!!!
She still cannot come
to terms with that one!
NO ONE CAN!!!!
Saluti e abbracci...

BUON GIORNO LAURA ~ I love New York and visited Ground Zero in 2002 and the Memorials two years ago ! I love NY and New Yorkers so friendly and sassy ! That this Act of Terrorism was so close struck terror in the hearts of people who live in Manhattan and remember 911 like it was yesterday. Those of us who Trust in God have an inner peace in the midst of such mindless anarchy ! I have lit a big candle for NEW YORK because she\'s worth it ~ AMEN ! Abbracci d\'Amore ~ BRIAN Tu Amico Caro !
TI RINGRAZIO CON TUTTO
IL MIO CUORE!
I agree Brian, poem well said. They want us to not feel safe going anywhere but then they win. So glad I don't live in a big city! Thanks for posting on this! Hugs-Christina
THANKS CHRIS ~ Likewise I'm glad I don't live in LONDON ~ 30 miles away is close enough ! I really like NEW YORK and feel sorry they have been targeted again ! We are praying for the Families of the Dead (five from Argentina ! ) and the Survivors and their Families ~ Heavenly Hugs ~ BRIAN
Good will prevail, but it may be some time as we have already waited since the coming of homo sapiens on this planet.
THANKS ANDY ~ Due to envy ~ jealousy ~ hatred & pride Individuals and nations are dissatisfied because they have "less" than their neighbour. The leads to acts of terrorism (often due to Religious / Lifestyle differences) and wars ! It was and will be ever thus until Christ returns ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
