is this the life they always wanted - poem in respond to 'All Things Not Considered' by Naomi Shihab Nye

peace is lost,
smells of death is everywhere,
bodies lie everywhere,
is this the life they always wanted.

kids crying for help,
parents sheltering their kids,
people running in the midst of chaos,
is this the life they always wanted.

smoke, explosion, shooting is everywhere,
people - lose one's love
people - lose one's self
is this the life they always wanted.

death roams everywhere,
blood is shed everywhere,
hands are being sullied,
is this the life they always wanted.

a poem with real events,
anger, pain were felt.

a poem which was inspired by real events, the feeling were conveyed naturally. images of the events came vividly in minds when reading the poem.
