“87 killed in pile-up on the M1”,
That’s what the newspapers say.
Nothing is said of the relatives -
They’re good as dead as well.
Nobody cares about the relatives,
They have to suffer with pain and grief.
They have to worry about the dead
And seek the answer in God.
No-one knows if God is responsible.
Does he commit one mass murder
Everytime (sic) there’s a bomb or a crash?
No-one knows the true answer.
