One month remembrance of the bomb attack on Easter Sunday: In memory of the victims

Forty days of lent and then came Palm Sunday,   
The Hosannas in Churches they sang with 
Palms waving in their hands   
Then came the day JESUS carried our sins 
on the cruel cross of CALVARY,   
Thereafter came the day JESUS conquered death and 
the grave to bring us all VICTORY,   
All Christians kneeling worshipped 
the RISEN LORD and Hallelujahs they sang   
For the redemption, he bought for every woman and man.   
Satan could not bear to hear the PRAISES and 
in came the suicide bombs   
Taking the lives of the innocent humans 
- men, women and little ones   
The horrified news shocked our little island 
and the whole Universe too,   
The slain in number increased from moment to 
moment in ones and twos   
Yells and cries in agony and pain of those who were victimized   
Weeping, wailing & waiting in anxiety not knowing 
the fate of their loved ones.   
How did you have a heart for this barbaric 
act and which Religion did you practice   
Which God tells you to carry out this horrible deed 
on the just, the innocent and even babies   
No warnings are given, no clues known 
- came the innocent to worship their King   
Not knowing they would end up deaf, blind, 
lame or maimed or not even be among the living   
Those who did it are answerable to 
God and those who also aided and abated   
Not forewarning the innocent though being aware of the danger that could have been averted.   
On the judgement day when they stand before 
the Great King’s Throne - two groups will appear   
On one side will be the innocent Martyrs and on the other will be the wicked slaughterers   
JESUS at Heavens pearly gates will be waiting with 
open arms to welcome the Martyrs   
Satan gnashing his teeth in burning hell will be 
grabbing in the slaughterers   
We as Christians are taught to forgive and say 
Lord please forgive them   
And pray that the Lord in his loving mercy 
will save their souls from hell   
I only wish that one soul from HELL could 
come to earth, to forewarn the others   
That unless they put a stop to this barbaric act   
They will end up in a burning horrible furnace   
Where nothing in the world can redeem them to eternity   
Let us all as one large family   
Rally around those victimized   
In lending a helping hand with whatever we can   
Praying to heal their body soul and mind.
