Cold Sunrise

Sunrise.....It's getting lighter,
Death lays cold in a tangled heap,
AK's magazine's empty,
It's shoulder strap, still wrapped, around his wrist,
A victim of his own thinking,
That "Unbelievers" lives were less than cheap,
He was no Gods freedom fighter,
He was only his own terrorist!

About this poem:

Hi everyone.....Thought it was about time I came back to write a bit....just wish that this weeks circumstances had been different....Lest we forget though, 99.9% of religous followers are gentle and peace loving and the same percentage of political followers will argue things in a reasoned way. Unfortunately there will always be a very small minority that feel that they have to resort to violence to get their point or belief across.....Andrew...xxx

This is an excellent well written poem about such a sad time in our history, when will human beings ever learn to love each other?

Hi Titania, thank you, it would be nice, wouldn't it? As they say though it takes all sorts to make the world go round, whether we like it or not....A difficult subject to tackle but felt that I wanted to....What was it someone said, "All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to stand back and say nothing"....Maybe a bit of truth in that....
Anyway, thank you for commenting, I hope you have a great new year!
