A Bitter Pill Poem by Joyce Hemsley

A Bitter Pill



Terrorism can be so frightening
A Black September of our times
And 'Bali' was one of the names
added to the list of crimes.

Terrorism is often so 'sudden'
No warning sirens are heard.
1939 had sirens and shelters
But terrorism is shockingly absurd.

This bombing outrage has a history
Of factions who kidnap and kill
And raids easily gain momentum
And the resulting horror is a Bitter Pill.
