[hometext] => News reports say the tanker was leaking. Drivers we know said there were no leaks. Besides police would not have let the tanker in the border post if that was the case. Guess we will never know the truth.
[bodytext] => 09:12:2014.... Just a few weeks ago. How were we to know. At Kasumbalesa border post. It was death's host. Sixty driver drivers perished. Their lives just vanished. One hundred trucks destroyed. Where they once were is a beep void. It was late afternoon the sun was high. The explosion left many to cry. The heat was too much for the tanker. No this is no prank. At 45'c thirty thousand litres of fuel exploded. Ripped open the earth and left it eroded. Bodies and truck parts hurled through the air. Like a news paper blown by wind of a chair. Flames leaping up black smoke filling the sky. As we look on in shock we ask why. Why so violently ripped from this life. Pain cutting through us like a knife. We lose our brothers to death. See them release their last breath. It was a dark summer's day. For their sole we must pray.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
