Time Bomb Beneath Our Pillows

I laid quietly in bed
When it detonated –
The soul sniffing device.

I heard their screams – my neighbors
From within my cell –
With I myself but befuddled.

Their voices raged – intoned,
Affirming the unfathomable misery
And fueling the existent bedlam.

“We had seen him –
The time bomber –
Perched by their window.”

Their gravelly voices merged in mourning
And my placation to no avail –
As continuously, they wailed.
