Brussels:
The
City of Seven Gates Cry No More
Again senseless killing in
Brussels,
bloodshed in the heart of
Europe,
anguish in the land of
seven
gates,
wailings in the pentagonal
city of Brussels.
How painful to know that
the cry is neither from
war nor defeat at war,
but wailing from
man-caused evil in
the historic city of
Flemish, Wallonia, and
Dutch;
the city of three great
cultures,
City of Brussels.
A day of sackcloth in
Europe as-Brussels-
its un-official capital
was attacked by the
forces of evil;
a day dark brown
chocolate turned to
pool of blood.
A day Liege Belgian
Waffles
refused its early morning
calls
for breakfast,
a day Brussels Potato
Fries
shunned frying pans and
grills;
friteries or frietkot have
nothing to serve for
breakfast.
What an atrocious day in
Brussels as beer making
equipment kits went into
sleep with no notice
served,
grains, malt extracts,
hops,
yeast, and sugar declared
a day of mourning;
a day of no fermentation,
filtration, and bottle
corking.
A day of standstill in
Brussels,
A day Moon refused to
appear and the twinkling
stars failed to show up
in Brussels’ sky,
a day sun refused to give
its light.
Brussels-why the bloodshed?
Why did the soldiers of
darkness strike within
your gates?
Should we ask-
ISIS and its other
brethren-in-violence-
what do they want?
What is humankind offence?
Should they seek
retribution
by means of violence and
blood?
Should
they become a judge
and
a prosecutor in their
case
of sanitizing the world?
Fanatical
groups around the
globe
may be pushing their
luck
too far,
humankind
patience may be
running
out on crimes against
humanity
these cowards
continually
perpetuate,
humankind
emotion express
by
cry may be waning
because
of every time evil.
Now
is the time to
apply
all applicable brakes-
physical,
emotional, mental
financial,
cultural brakes-
these
soldiers of evil
receive
from their sponsors.
As
Belgians cry and mourn
on
recent attack in Brussels;
we
say:
CRY No More,
GRIEVE No More, and
WEEP No MORE.
