Bastille Day in Nice

July 14th is Bastille Day in France.  In Nice, on a main road edging the beach a man deliberately used his Lorrie to  run over as much of the crowd of people celebrating the holiday as he could.

The people of Nice are recoiling in shock
With eighty (last count) lying dead on the street
They died celebrating the Day of Bastille
Deliberately slaughtered by someone from Nice

Plus twenty-some critically injured as well
Their life-or-death outcome remains to be seen
It’s all we can do, now, is pray for their souls
And not allow terror to commandeer ours

How then, to eliminate terror attacks
By lone-wolf attackers, most often home grown
We must find the reason such terror attracts
What fosters fanatical mind-states to kill?

Is it environment; is it their genes?
Is it rejection way back in their teens?
Is second-class citizens how they perceive
Their place in society so it would seem?

I don’t have the answers, but this I observe:
Clinton’s suggestions are good of themselves
But they don’t address the home-grown loner threat
While, keeping out Muslims is Trumple’s approach

  2. A nut with a semi in Nice
    Celebrators lives did so fleece
    The scene was not nice
    So many on ice
    Can’t we find ways to pre-police?
