Notes About The Poem

Written in light of the newest terrorist attack in Manchester England

Manchester Attack

Yet another incident has happened today
When will these terrorists go away
Manchester this time at a concert
Some taken to early some really hurt

Thier war now affecting the general public
These people are just really sick
To target young children having fun
Your sick and something will be done 

You will not scare us of British decent
Your cowardly acts you must repent
We will hunt you down and take you in
A six foot cell your life will begin

Prayers go to all those that were there
Great British people show that you care
For those that have lost I shed a tear
Defeat this terrorism show no fear

Stay alert and watch each others backs
We can beat these cowardly attacks

Quoth Theraven April 5, 2020 at 1:08 PM Gordon, Manchester has seen wars and strife in many a past day. The resolute folks always show their true colors and weather the storm. It's too bad many have to pay the ultimate price first. The high price for peace. -Richard

Ann Foster October 4, 2019 at 2:23 PM Defeat this terrorism show no fear,... NO FEAR!!! We need to make them understand that they need to be afraid. Not us at all. We are quiet...but when we wake up... the Lord will call and we will answer... they will quake...in a nightmare. I loved your poem. So sad, so true, so real... it should not be! That part makes me angry...they need to be stopped. Ann

Jan Allison May 23, 2017 at 8:53 AM It is impossible to comprehend how someone can target an event like this where many young people were attending :-( Twenty two dead, about 60 injured - how can we begin to understand who evil someone can be:-( my heart goes out to all those affected:-( hugs jan xx
