The Stone of Discontent
Peaceful and calm
Nothing stirs in this beautiful lake
A glimmering sheet of water
Serene and beautiful
And then.......,
A stone thrown falls with a splash
A disturbing ripple spreads outward
Rapidly at first, chaotic, respecting nothing
Slows down but still spreading
Further and further
Disturbing the tranquillity
No longer comforting
No longer calm
The stone of discontent
The stone of disruption
The stone of ignorance
The stone of hatred
Explodes in the street
Those in the centre lost forever
The wave of destruction spreads
A trail of death and horror
One stone, one man, many lives
Driven by ignorance and hatred
No longer comforting
No longer calm
