Poem
Fear The shout of a man sitting at a table He was collecting all bottles, and glass that he was able I turned to my husband and said what do you think? Some guys stood behind us and said "lets get a drink." I moved to the side, I walked on past The hairs on my neck were standing up fast A feeling I knew washed over me Something was happening and I didn’t want to see. A guard with a gun, knocked me as he walked by The guy at the table with the bottles wasn’t shy. "Get lost, get away you can’t stop me flying I know what to do without even trying." My heart began to race, what is going on? People are pushing and shoving then we could see he had a gun. The fight starts there on the floor, two men with the glass and bottles Two guards rush in, hands round throats trying to throttle We hide behind tables, and chairs, we cannot escape A gun slides up near making a noise like ripping duck tape. It’s there at my feet- a hand reaches for it, Is it a guard or a terrorist? I nearly have a fit. A push in the back from a big burly guy Shouts “Go on get stuck in, give it a try.” "What the hell are you on about shut your mouth now" There’s guns flying round and words I never heard- I vow There are four on the floor kicking guns and screaming loud Then a clicking of two feet, comes a short man from the crowd He stands and he yells and they all do stop He points and picks up the guns that they have not He sorts it all out; the police come take them away An announcement rings out “Thanks for flying with us today.” Based on a true event over thirty years ago in an airport in Gan Canary
