Brave Manchester

Brave Manchester

I flinch as if struck

Gape hopelessly 
At the evil 
That can so easily
Hastily dispatch
Innocent children
Who are simply 
Having fun

My heart aches

Broken by the evil

That has descended

My eyes fill with tears

For the children 

And adults who died

Then I hear the stories

Of courage and help

Given to the victims

And I realize

Good people will not let them win

There is bravery and love

There is goodness in this world

And only light and love 

Can drown out the bad

We must however be vigilant 

And not shut our eyes

To those who radicalize themselves

To do harm

England and the UK 

Showed the world the way

To cope during

The Second World War

Stay alert 

Go on with daily life

Don't let them win

That's how this war is won
Is the cry again and again

But still we shall 

Forever mourn

Short lives

Stolen by evil deeds

Tears in our eyes

Pain in our hearts

Forever more


Rest in Peace dear ones~
