The couple had settled in England
and worked very hard.
Now on holiday in a familiar place
with their two daughters.
His mother also came for the break
somebody their lives would take!
But the husband had made enemies
in dealings in his past.
As they relaxed in an idyllic setting
oblivious of the danger!
Hoping their past had been played
it had only been delayed!
Not originally from the British isles
they’d found freedom there.
From the troubles in the middle east
but it had not been forgotten.
Festering memories would terminate
when assassins sealed their fate!
One early morning a cyclist found them dead
shot twice in the head!
Three bodies in the car engine still running
another also lay nearby!
A child badly wounded and bleeding found
nobody else was around!
Another mystery was born that early morn
carnage nobody could understand!
Eight hours later a small child was discovered
hiding under mothers body!
As the news spread of this callous action
it brought a chilling reaction!
Bringing home the frailty of human life
and the dangers that await.
Who maybe watching or wish you harm
where mercy has faded.
And violence and revenge is the intention
instead of peaceful intervention!
Let us hope sanity for most will prevail!
The Foureyed Poet.
