Who’s Next?
She’s blond and blossoming young
She’s a black doctor and drives a car
She’s someone’s mother who works late shift
She’s a four year old girl living next door
She’s a grandma who has done her time
She’s a matric student at school in the locker room
She’s pregnant and walking down the street
Who is she?
She’s next
The wind blows over a still red sea
The rain falls and the sun shines
The air is hot and it’s biting cold
Anytime weather, it doesn’t matter
No one hears her last step
No one hears her last breath
Brutally kicked out of her
A silent cry swamped with blood
Broken arms held above her face
Found
On a deserted beach, a ditch, a field or in a fridge
Who is she?
She’s next
He’s dirty and drunk
A drug addict out on bail
A boyfriend with inflated pride
A greedy white collar boss
A famous celebrity or a soccer coach
He’s a man not a boy
He’s done it before
But he didn’t go to jail
He got let off
South Africa
Who’s next?
Kind regards

No one is safe from terror: any day we get news of murders committed by insane people in the name of a 'god' they don't really believe in.. because it is not God that is in their mind. What they have inside, is only the deepest void. And they simply want to fill their void with hatred.
No one is safe, anywhere, by such a violent, bloody madness.. but we –all the people of good will– must stand up and refuse terror!
The Anthology will be our second book of Poetry Against Terror after our 1st published in 2016. See:
Terrorism, which is one of the most important topics in the world today, refers to any act designed to cause 'terror' by means of violence or the threat of violence.
As a fundamental rule, terrorism is politically and emotionally charged, because it is meant to instill fear within, and thereby intimidate people, an entire country or even the whole world. Terrorism is certainly frightening, but the best way we can fight it is by living our lives without terror.
