Poetry

Inflame

The hate of a few leads to the death of many.

Inflamed, inflamed, inflame.

The momentary acts of some cast forever effects on others.

Inflamed, inflamed, inflame.

From horrific and unspeakable doings, death and devastation rain.

Inflamed, inflamed, inflame.

Our darkest day. A senseless day. No words do justice.

Inflamed, inflamed, inflame.

For those who hate and those who harm.

Ashamed, ashamed, ashame.

A terror attack in Christchurch on March 15, 2019 left 49 precious souls dead, and families devastated as a consequence. The city was in lockdown for hours as the police restored order. Peaceful hearts may take longer.
