II

Our shattered lives entwine throughout
The miasma of uncertainty and desolate fears;
Striking the breast with scorn and doubt,
Leaving us empty with harsh, bitter tears.
Uncertainty reigns in this newly changed world
As terror upon terror bombards our life.
Seeking composure, while revenge is unfurled,
Hinders the uncertainty, partially numbing the strife
That gradually will heal. Innocence is lost
In the chasm of our insolent dreams.
We ask unto others – "What price, what cost,
Do we pay for freedoms barely held by their seams?"
     Shadows that mock our exposed vulnerability
     Dance upon wings of malicious serendipity.
