Twin Tragedy

by

Robert Cameron Hazelton

I wandered in a daze after absorbing the horrific news
Even the sounds of daily traffic were somehow strangely subdued
Walking home from my job I pondered the implications
Of avowing blind allegiance to any type of nation
I turned on the TV, watched it all, then I quietly cried
For what possible reason should so many innocents die
The magnitude of this atrocity is truly beyond belief
My feeble words cannot begin to express my heartfelt grief
Hear my prayer Oh Lord on high avenge these heinous deeds
People who would commit such acts are people we don’t need
You created such a beautiful world that everyone must share
Why can’t we just live and let live, Dear God are you there?
