    The Bomb

    The blood pours down their faces
    Like zombies
    They stagger into the light
    Torn clothes
    Ripped souls
    On their way to work
    Newspapers folded
    A coffee light and sweet
    Flashes of fire
    The earth shakes
    When someone hates
    Innocence lost
    So long ago
    Shock sets in
    None the less
    In the moments before death
    Do they think
    "But I'm going to be late?"

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
