He had intentions;
a vague idea
of a plan
that life would be
this magnificent thing.
But time passed;
he saw others
with their dreams.
Why should that be?
His hopes
taken by them.
He is now a jealous
angry man.
Blaming others;
blame them with a bomb.
That will fix him.
After the bombing,
the recent mother TV host said,
“let’s ban all Muslims.”
Reasonable people
voicing anger.
It took a Muslim.
He said,
“she’s not evil,
she’s scared
and so am I.”
That’s a beginning.
