It was just a bomb that took four arms and six legs <br />From nine perfectly healthy individuals <br />It was just a bomb that took sixteen lives <br />And left seventy two people seriously wounded <br />It was just a bomb that stole the parents <br />And grandparents and uncles and aunts <br />Not to mention the children…. <br />All of whose lives had been cut short by years <br />When a second bomb exploded <br />As they stood by and weeped in disbelief <br />The dead and the dying left lying on the charred ground <br />Of what once had been a busy city street full of life <br />It was just a bomb <br />But it took a coward to detonate <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/suicide-bombers-are-cowards/
