Atatürk
The death-toll rose
From ten to forty-one
Was there a plan
In the attack that
Foreign blood would
Mix with that of
Home
Insane strategy
To kill those first who
Are not involved
The cheat of
Terrorists whose
Cowardice will not
Face military forces
This aim makes a
Target out of me, and
Certainly I can get
Scared;
I must hope that
Death by misdirected
Amateurs will not
Find me today
And grieve with those
Slain in anonymity,
Because the killers
Don’t care
Who we are
History of Terrorism
(after bombings in Istanbul,
killing ten so far, wounding fifteen)
“What impresses your most about terrorists?”
“Their hundred-percent failure.”
I heard something like this in a television
Show, well-written show, an episode
First broadcast in the wake of 911
Now we have murder in Istanbul by a
Suicide bomber, so it appears, maybe in
Fearful avenging Turkish strikes against IS
Is ISIS going to have a state? Will the world
Allow that? Explosions, shootings,
Destroying lives with bodies strapped
With bombs: do these all realize such
A difference? Only in wasting, it seems—in
Exploitation and in scorn and in the
World’s resolve to stand together and against
Not a rising storm but rather in a lower
Continuity of tries at terror and of terror
Acts filled with, terribly and finally—you
Know, Macbeth’s signifying sound and fury
