In a Different Dream
I awoke this morning
In this UK land
Where people went about
Their daily plan
Someone else awoke
In a different dream
All he left behind
Were silent screams
His twin brother
Their Solicitor at work
A colleague, a friend
What lit this spark
His rampage continued
From village to village
Hindsight, gun sight
Leaden pillage
Many others perished
To this mind from
The flick of a switch
His internal bomb
Then the inevitable
To a wooded covering
Can't face the music
No guilty hearing
Once again
There's the ones left behind
Who have to unravel
This man from mankind
America and Finland have seen recent events on a tragic scale.
The UK has in the past seen such events also with Hungerford
and the children in Dunblane. Sadly we see it once again.
May his soul ROT in HELL.
