Her beauty isn't measured by some European standard of what beauty should be but by her confidence and the fact that she is loving the skin she's in. To me, that alone is beautiful.

In The Absence Of God

CATEGORY

life

The sound was deafening

The earth griped groaned and grumbled

Beneath their feet

Seconds of mobocracy

 

Followed by

An eerie silence of confusion

Shock and awe

 

The sun sat high unnerving

As the dust settled

Exposing the grotesque macabre

That is now their reality

 

Tear trickled traces speckled with blood seared

Upon muddled faces covered of soot

Stood surreal against the carnage

Unabled to grasp what has happened

Trudges about in symbiotic aloofness

 

Slowly a crescendo of wails

A wretched affair

Sliced into the mid day air

Sending chills to all within ear

 

Sirens heard from the distance

Approaches quickly

Adding to the cacophony of sound

An orchestra of pain

Reminiscent of

Dante's Inferno

Rock rescuers to the core

 

Bodies strewn and dispensed

Lie unrecognizable

Young and old alike

For death does not discriminate

 

As neighbors extend helping hands

Black and white

Slowly the healing begins

We can breathe again

Live again

Trust again

For surely hate cannot be

Allowed to win

 

The outpouring of support was astronomical

The love felt was undeniable

People say I'm ideological

But love conquers hate

And that's

Indisputable
