Think, think again

When is a truck not a truck— When it kills 84 revelers after a fireworks display On a busy boulevard When is a plane not a plane— When it is used as a missile and Flown into tall buildings When is a train no longer a train— When it becomes a bullet bomb Underground Mail, parcels, parties Bible studies, peaceful protests University classrooms Can you think of any other ways Where everyday life, the ordinary Has been co-opted? Where something Like eating at a restaurant, watching a soccer game, Walking your dog, attending a concert Have been turned into the most horrific Moment of your life— Can you imagine? Think, think again . . .  seaside promenade, palm trees, rollerbladers, ice creams stands =all take on new meaning
