An act tragic
A community devastated
A people enraged
A world aghast
The blame to emerge
Calls for heads and rivers of blood
To flow.
A declaration brash
A retaliation swift
A people hated
A world in turmoil
The tide of lead and fire
Unhindered by thought or trappings civilized
Returned.
A mob incensed
A gathering rebellious
A leader resolute
An answer demanded
The future more uncertain
One dares to speak a contrary word:
Forgive.
A man crucified.
About This Poem
This one is fairly obvious. If Jesus ever came back, we wouldn’t let him hang around very long.

tom I will paint a portrait as soon as you suggest a picture of OBAMA ,Please write ne a story to go with the picture I sent you. The people are in turmoil and the sea matches their feelings. They love to see the rolling waves. You could write about each one and . the end should be hopeful, not the gloom and doom. Thank you.
