Sombrely Upon Westminster Bridge

Earth has not anything to show more dread or drear And reckless would he be of soul to venture by A tragic scene gut-wrenching in its travesty This city now doth fully its mourning weeds wear From a shocking afternoon filled with siren blare Open to violent threats,aimed to terrify Kids,tourists,passers-by,police and medics cry In defiance,not broken in the pain soaked air Never did the sun more glaringly drench and steep, With her lancing rays, face,window or reflection Ne'er saw I,never ever felt trauma so deep River flowing by,blind to this vile aggression Good God!The very House was locked in nightmarish sleep, All that mighty city then and there racked with tension.
