Today
London has joined
an Unhappy Fraternity
of cities
Cities that are scarred
by international rogues
who think murder is a political statement
cities that have known
the ugliness of hate
and the brutality of the bomber
London
the stone that held
against the Nazi blitz
now has tasted
the terrorist cowardice
London
New York
Oklahoma City
Tokyo
Tel Aviv
Beirut
Rome
Munich
Dar es Salaam
Ayodhya
Madrid
the list grows longer
as the unhappy fraternity
becomes an angry one
those who murder
in the name of a false god
be warned
beware the wrath of a just people

Ah Tahutihotep even in sad tone, content this is good. It is also nice to see someone who is well informed, pays attention to news and history. A definite Unhappy Fraternity, of which no one wants to be a part! Good luck in the contest!
