Mourning Over Terror Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen
Mourning Over Terror
Our hearts mourn, oh Lord,
when people are killed
in places where people
rejoice to celebrate life.
Our hearts mourn, oh God,
when fear grips us
with haunting memories
from shocking images
when sanctity of life
is trampled and rejected.
Come to us as our Creator,
Restore to us our humanity
of love; let not hate and
revenge take control in our hearts.
Let your spirit of love dwell
and win over this war against terror.
