The sun shines on the pavement
On the careless, cheerful crowd
Till you screech into action
And forever break their hearts.
You tear mothers from their babies,
Make people run for their lives
And forever break their hearts.
You scatter hate on the streets,
Dirt, rubble, glass.
Human souls eternally shattered.
You make friends blame each other
And forever break their hearts.
Now it's cloudy in Barcelona
Tears are raining from heaven.
Your senseless cruelty proved pointless.
Did you achieve anything?
Zip, zero, nada...
You just broke a million hearts.

Author Notes
A van was driven into pedestrians on La Rambla in Barcelona, Spain on the afternoon of 17 August, killing 13 and injuring at least 130 people. The driver of the van fled the attack on foot, then killed a 14th victim in order to steal his car and escape.
Nine hours after the Barcelona attack, five men thought to be members of the same terrorist cell drove into pedestrians in nearby Cambrils, killing one woman and injuring six others. All five attackers were shot by police as they were carrying out the attack.
