Massacre of the Innocent

In Beslan Russia, a terrible event occurred.
It was hard to believe all of what was heard.
Children take hostage, help at gunpoint.
Hoping that Russia will free men and women with whom they could join.
Instead shooting and bayonetting began.
It happened to the little ones, some as they fled.
In the back, the stomach, and heads did these wounds hit.
In short, it was some messed up..... can't say it here.
Putin sent troops in, to stop the bloodletting and carnage.
However the terrorists set off bombs, showing they are savage.
300+ souls gone for good, hopefully with God.
Putin has retaliation in mind, not so odd.
This massacre was live on TV, beyond a pity.
How bad would it be if it was in New York City?
Anyone who dismisses this incident as something that happens once or twice,
has no blood or feeling, but a heart of ice.
So if you think the poem is beyond mild.
Wonder what would be done, if the hostage was your child.
This enemy of our has no emotion or pity.
They have no qualms massacring a city.
Russia has been hit, Iraq has a daily occurance,
of tragedy and bloodshed all too current.
If something like this is done in a Houston suburb, how should we respond.
Take the sensitive route or retaliate with bombs?
It's sad to say that a day without terrorism will now be odd.
To prevent this here, watch out, and pray to God.
