I'll just sneak one in

Cherry BomB

I watch small children run off into the bushland at the end of the street. A few moments later I hear large pipe bombs rack the peace and
shaking my head, it reminded me of similar experimentation. "It's all in
good fun", we used to say when we were caught by our parents.
Although still holding disapprovement, they let us continue to play hand
in hand with man's greatest invention. Man's greatest past-time pint
sized in our sweaty little fingers. My smile of this mind memorabilia remained till the evening news.

. . . ."Suicide bombers strike again, killing dozens of innocents". . . . .

We've heard it all before unfortunately.
Those children playing with cherry bombs with laughter in their eyes.
Those mourners on the idiot box playing with grief unwillingly,
with sadness elicited. My smile recoils and my tongue lashes out
obscenities to those who've been misled and left everyone else for dead.
But the television won't reply or state it's opinion so off it goes and off goes another cherry bomb. I hear wild laughter from the children. My point starts here. . . . unfortunately in our own homes.

The truth can only exist when we act upon it,
And not to proclaim it from the backseat.
Your back garden is bigger than you think.
Do something bystander, do something.
