That Ominous Black Morning--Manchester Terrorist Attack

An Ariana Grande concert was struck by an explosion in northern England on 22nd May 2017 killing at least 22 people and injuring many there was a massive flash and then a bang and smoke all around hundreds of people could be seen streaming away in confusion and chaos nobody was getting any sense it was smoke everywhere and shoes on the ground from people trying to flee. it was frantic and unbridled a little girl and boy aged about eight or nine distraught as they couldn't find their dad all were screaming and running, dropping their coats and phones, just scrambling to safety undoubtedly it was an appalling terrorist attack and needs to be condemned and denunciated nuts and bolts littering the ground near blast scene as a likely terrorist attack ripped through a crowd of teenagers the prone bodies of those who had been wounded and killed, as well as others who were streaked with blood and were staggering away from the scene teenagers were screaming and running in the aftermath of the blast parents were frantically attempting to locate their children and relatives people were scattered everywhere. And some of them looked dead also such a tyrannical doctrine is an indelible blot on the name of humanity and a challenge for those who talk of peace and human rights always but as an emotional poet, my heart is broken for those poor children and for all those families with an empty house that black night Blanket coverage in the news media, brave words by leaders, forests of flowers at the scenes of attack, forensic reconstruction by the police, and a return to normalcy needs no repeating that terrorism knows no borders and that the globalization of terror is a reality let's pray to god that all departed souls may rest in peace (By Kishan Negi)
