Oklahoma City...New York - And Yesterday....Boston Poem by James B. Earley

Ego awakens enemy
In the soul asunder
..Mayhem...carnage
World-wide plunder

COMMANDMENT scorned
...Long forsaken
'Breath God-given
...Is never taken'

Such ironic truth
Domestically lost-on
Oklahoma City..New York
..Yesterday...Boston

Tomorrow's choice
'Tis pathway steep
Life's own sown seeds
..So must life reap

Karma's destined voice
Knows not reticence
...Again..bowed heads
Bought moments of silence
