When Terror Strikes

All along the dead valley I walked with his gun… How death could escape.. I gave up this thought He broke my hope With his narrow eyes My plead was refused Oh! That inhuman look….. turned the sky black.... What prayers could save this world at last We were the ONE but we carried the gun.... Not sure about the title of this poem... Plz suggest?

Title suggestion, "His Death Still Haunts Me". "All along the dead valley I walked with his gun…" ^^^ This grabbed me.. and the rest carried me along fine. A7

This poem is very expressive of mankind's actions, Red! Where we seek happiness and love, others spread hate and fear. But love will not give in to threats, not as long as hope burns in our hearts! hugs // paul
