Tribute To Manchester

I wrote this as a tribute to all those injured and killed in the bombing. Get well soon people, rest in peace those that were murdered. 

Manchester will never forgive
 Manchester will never forget
 The few that carry the bomb
 The few with the terrorist threat
 Manchester will never forget
 Those that were caught in the blast
 Manchester understands
 That it isn’t the first time or last
 The Provo’s they gave us a warn of attack
 A few precious minutes for the hordes to drawback
 Now our blood stains the tarmac and union jack
 From a cowardly nail bomb packed in a backpack 
 But Manchester will stand, like the tree called the Oak
 Rising up tall from the fire and the smoke
 Manchester has been there before
 Surviving but battered and sore
 So Manchester’s message to those with the bomb
 Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on
