Hi Maria Jose, yeah, it was pointless, yet so many lives were shattered. And for what? For some fanatics who can't perceive what is right or wrong. When will this nightmare ever end? I loved your poem. So poignant and very well written. All the best. Ulla:)))

A good question Maria, what did it all achieve. So many lives shattered, families forever changed. It is too easy for these thugs to use vehicles as a weapon of destruction and hate. Nicely written for this terrible tragedy Maria,
cheers.

Heartbreaking. To what purpose? As you said, 'Nada.' I'll never understand what these people think to promote, except hate. But, then, it's quite likely that's their sole agenda. Just heartbreaking. This is beautiful. Blessings...

Hello Friend. I knew what this was about before the author's notes. It has such a spirit of futility about it, this write. You feel and love the people who were hurt and yet it only makes the resolve of your warrior goddess stronger! Blast these kind of terrorists to hell! xoxo deborah

Oh, the awfulness of the terror attacks taking place around the world. And the majority are being carried out by the so called religion of peace. There is nothing peaceful about these dregs of society. Patricia

Maria,
You did a great job expressing your thoughts/feelings. The repeating line works nicely to add emphasis to your well chosen words. Your poem creates imagery although it is very sad. Thanks for sharing & caring. I am so sorry for you & your country to have to go through this. Jan

This world has descended quite markedly into chaos, lawlessness and horror, I was trying to explain to my 10 year old grandson to cling to God, because the morale decline is seemingly accelerating in recent times. Well done, well written in expressive and well described imagery. A poem that abhors the terrible, pointless destruction of lives that occurred in Barcelona, recently, well done, Maria, blessings, Roy
