Angels Tears

A tragedy occurred today
And the sky bled
From the heavens poured red rain
Tainted with the tears of angels
Singing sadly
Swaying together
Comforting one another
Tragedy struck today
A lad was killed,a man was slain

As England's crying
US, it's people in mourning
A nation grieving
A country shocked to silence
Great Britain's heart is breaking
Time stands still for this

For the brutality of this attack
The unfairness of it
We the people leave flowers,cards
Representing our tears for the family
A carpet of colour
Representing our fears
Thousands of teary eyes
Not a person dry near
Our hearts forever wounded
So England grieves

One of our boys is dead
Taken in the sickest way
On a British street,during the day
The country is screaming
Disgusted at the disease of this killing
Our lad hacked to pieces
Cut to death
We have never seen such evil in our country as this

Angels are crying for him
This unjustified killing
Our boy slain

In the silence is the song of Angels
Welcoming him into heaven
Sadly opening their arms
Thinking it's too soon
For someone taken so cruelly young
This country's in mourning for him
He a son,brother,lover,father
Killed in the name of a God
By men who hate this country
Men who hate us
Making people wonder
Why they are in this country we love
This country we fought for
This country of ours

I'm sorry to say that I do not know who this was. I don't follow world news very much, and not my own national news either. This one really gets across your sorrow and anger. I recently knew a young man who died in a car crash. such a sad world!
