The suicide bomber erupts in flames.
Destroying bodies, their souls he claims.
'My god, god save me' were the cries.
My heart skips a beat, another part of me dies.

'Welcome home, where you belong', you say.
Where do I belong?
Here where I was born,
Or there, where my Brothers died?
There I dreamt of home.
Here I have not yet returned.

I stared into your eyes and saw fire
I stared into your eyes and saw death
Eyes filled with pain yet filled with freedom
Eyes lacking in empathy yet emblazoned with power
