this is a holy death
ripping straight through
the hopes of those taken
and those that will miss them ..

at the bus stop
coffee bar
school yard
work place 
canteen

So many empty seats 
never to be filled again 
Holes in each and every Turk

this was your holy death
your passport to celestial angels 
and Allah's warm embrace

and if he is there ? 
to meet you ?
then...
your religion is a
dis...
Grace
