One second
one moment in time
a barbaric act
a brutal attack
on innocent lives
the cruelest of cruel
a nefarious crime
horrific scenes
endless casualties
shattering and destroying
the strongest psyches
an immense blast
bodies scorched and raw
some charred from the flames
such fatal loss
in someones merciless games
deafening screams
smells of burning flesh
excruciating torture
unidentifiable remains
the apalling truth
about what terrorism gains
a sickening sight
inhuman spite
an intentional plot
premeditated catastrophe
lifes snuffed out
like the flickering candle flame
trying to determine
who is to blame
for the sadistic sight
where this violent hatred came from
who planted the heartbreaking
unerasable bomb
