Most Manchester parents are free of dread, Their wee ones are safe asleep, in bed, But some now wait there, all alone ... For children who will not come home.

I have many good memories of Manchester many years ago. It is a shame now that when I hear the city's name in the UK, I also have to remember this sad tragedy. You now have a poem to recall.

Indeed, Ralph, such a wonderful city, slighted by these tragedies ... we are living in a different world, where the callous indifference toward life has become religious priority number one ... how do we do battle with such?!?

Far too often, Jo, at ANY time ... we all grow weary of it.

We've got to break the process where religion is being twisted into evil ... but how??
