Here's my tribute to the Boston Marathon Victims and that wonderful city.
Brothers in Blood
By Nomar Knight
Just part of the
crowd
Enjoying the
surroundings
Breathing the city
air
Listening to
laughing children
Cheering for the
runners
Admiring their
perseverance
Just another
beautiful day until
BOOM!
Shattered dreams
Terrible screams
Shards of glass
Blood everywhere
Shock leaves me
frozen
What just happened
Before I could
explain it
BOOM!
More screams in the
distance
Smoke filled the air
Sirens hollering
Police scurry to and
fro
Medics, nurses,
doctors frantic
Must stop the
bleeding
Ignore the tears
Let training take
over
Victims of a living
nightmare
Praying for
salvation
Cameras shooting
chaos
People separated by
madness
Darkness roaming in
broad daylight
Must save them
Can't give up
A child grows still
Precious life
extinguished
Haunted images
bombard reality
Save as many as you
can
When the smoke
clears
The hunt will begin
Deliverers of
destruction
Will fall because
Boston Rules
This better not
happen again
America is resilient
No black or white
No political games
Next year's boom
Will be a bloom of
runners
Brothers in blood forever victorious
