again we lower the flag
this time
to honor the fallen
in Nice
yet each day that passes
terrorism
slaughters innocent souls
world wide
perhaps we should grieve
each day
the flag left at half staff
to remind us
to send a prayer to heaven
with our tears
~~~~~
July 14,2016.
Thoughts on the victims in Nice, France,
and all the victims of global terrorism.

A beautiful tribute to the victims of terrorism. Yes, it seems like grieving is all we humans can do. There is so much killing going on. What a terrible world we live in!

There has never been a time in my life when terror, racial hatred, war and man's general brutality did not dominate the world. Yes, it is a terrible world we live in. So sad.
