I don't understand
acts so barbaric
shouting: "Allah Akbar"
cowardly assailants.
Two brothers and
a homeless teen
calmly executing
targeted men.
Not deterred, well-trained
they assassinate
the freedom of press
in their god's name.
Their actions we abhor
fear in the free world
newspapers are not
weapons of war.
I plead with a pen
of peace to rid
this world of terror
and all synonyms.
I glimpse Sunday's comics
Snoopy, Charlie Brown
as they weep
there's no further comment.
