A Reflection

A Reflection

A Poem by therisa
"

My feelings on the Boston Marathon's explosions.

"

What

Type of person

Deliberately plans

To kill others?


Targeting

Innocent civilians

Through the usage

Of terror devices.


During

A time of accomplishment

And celebration

For many.


Am I

So naive

To think better

Of humanity?


That

We can overcome

Hatred.


In building bridges

Of understanding

If not tolerance

Between each other?


Seeing

Our differences

As a strength

To build upon.


Not

A weakness

To tear down.


Maybe

Just maybe

It is time

For everyone else

To share my rose-coloured

Glasses.
