​

One In Kind

​

The ground, streaming with blood 

The deafening screams and cries 

Bodies falling lifelessly with a thud 

All of our loved ones' demise 

​

​

Terror and death 

What can we gain from it? 

Innocents catching their last breath 

They're all souls the evil omit 

​Evil

 didn't just slay the dead,

​

​

Evil has also ​

slain the hearts of the living 

​And the lands are covered in red

​We can't just accept and be forgiving

​

We all have our own religion 

And of it, we obey and show faith 

Yet we have our own tradition 

And our actions concluded our fate

But there's no one to blame 

Life is simply a thorny rose 

It's us who puts our lives to shame

 All of our loss has a purpose 

In religion and tradition, we divide 

But know that all of us are one in kind 

We are humans who got one pride 

And there are gaping holes we still need to find 

Let us stop terrorism 

Heal the broken and save the lost 

Stand up and render heroism 

As we face and pay the cost

The realistic expense of fighting terrorism; "Stand up and render heroism as we face and pay the cost." Bless Mycho Jamil tells it like it is in his poem, "One In Kind" which rhymes in a series of ABAB quatrains throughout. Thanks for the poem, Bless!
