try to imagine
the thoughts of the two bombers
you can? I cannot.

vb's reverbs 
vb, I can’t either. I can’t imagine thinking that killing and maiming people is OK, no matter the circumstances. And that people not only do it but take pleasure in it or are pleased that it happened is beyond my ken.

A haiku is a great way to strip away all of the speculation and tearing of rags.
i can’t neither…i wonder what it is that makes someone do such a terrible thing
you chose death
delivered suffering
to innocents
whose crime
was to let you live
amongst them
for your god?
I think not,
to feed your hate
and now
like a rabid dog
they hunt you
I mourn you not
but regret
your choice
so much good
waits to be done
and you embrace death
An imposing question in haiku. There are no thoughts…senseless, mindless, cruel acts.
It’s just impossible to understand.
what more is there to say than that. excellent.
Exactly the right question to ask…well said!
Neither can I.
Drive-by shootings are all to frequent in Miami. The terrorism here never makes the news. My children and grandchildren have survived several. It is a sad state of affairs when a 4 year old has “drive-by” as part of his vocabulary and although these tragedies around the country are newsworthy and stir our compassion and empathy I resent Miami’s killings are ignored.
