Thanksgiving Day
November 27th, 2008
Sad day indeed
Such senseless carnage
Supernatural hatred
Streets of Mumbai
Ankle deep with innocent blood
Five star hotels
Reduced to battlefields
Tales of heroism
Militant cowardice
Who cares what they believe
Fanatic violence
There is no justification
Resilient human spirit
Righteousness
Selfless compassion
Shall triumph evermore

Well said - especially last verses. A candle shines brightest in the darkness.
