Human Bombs

The terrorists came to take his land away.
Instead of shooting him, they shot all his family members,
put rifles on him, and made him watch his family
slowly bleed to death while being unable to help them.
He came and visited friends after the tragic incident,
and his friends could see that he was no longer right mentally,
and didn't want to live. He once had been a kind, nice,
and gentle man. All traces of him had disappeared.
One day he strapped a bunch of grenades around his waist,
and walked into where he knew the terrorists
were who destroyed his family. His last words were,
"People make people into human bombs!"
He destroyed himself and all the others.
I know that oftentimes media presents just one side of the story,
so I thought I would fill in the other half.
