A Tragedy in Texas
Posted: November 8, 2009
Poetic reflections on the massacre at Fort Hood…
When we're ambushed and blindsided
by a foe disguised as friend,
we're as helpless as a child
or a leaf blown by the wind.
At such times we're thrown off-balance
as we try to understand
Evil's modus operandi
here and in Afghanistan.
Life is fragile and ironic.
War survivors die at home.
And as questions beg for answers,
we must turn to God alone.
