Manchesters Children

Manchester's Children

Lest all goodness be forgot

When Manchester's Children
Instead of being tucked in bed

Lay now in Coffins
Shrapnel Red
To walk amongst the evil dead

If God be true
Pray God showers mecry
On defenceless children 

Who face the malady
Of some poor soul's insane insanity
To justify the vengeance of vanity

Suicide doth not equate to any Parity 
I Pray

Love and Sorrow to the Families
