007

Oh death you take no notice
Of life's left unfulfilled
The child cries and a mother morns
A trite line "Death be not proud"
So true, at the plane flew

They had an appointment
One they would have preferred not to keep
Black box tell you tale
Return to empty homes, hollow and lifeless
Families see the reminders of the dead

Now time has passed with no results
Pieces wash ashore, fragments of life
But mostly pieces of death
A childs shoe sheared in half
To graphic a representation of what happened

I hurt for the lives lost, stupidity
You rule where you should not rule
Will only total destruction end this?
No, murder will continue forever
And I cry more
