THE NIGHT THE MUSIC DIED - EMOTIVE WRITE

Ariana Grande’s in Manchester, she performs upon the stage
Her music and singing appeals to fans of such a tender age

Young fans sing along to the songs that they all know
And when the concert’s finally over it's time for them to go

But as they file out of the venue a terrorist’s bomb explodes
It’s chaotic, there’s hysteria as their world suddenly implodes

Medic’s rush to help the dying; and the injured they console
The scene is an apocalypse, which has spiraled out of control

A perpetual cacophony of sounds with people screaming and crying
You don’t expect to attend a concert and end up with people dying

There’s a kaleidoscope of colour from the emergency floodlight 
A hollow victory for terrorism on this unforgettable May night

On May 22nd,  22 people lost their lives and 116 people were injured when a suicide bomb exploded as people left the Ariane Grande concert … the youngest victim was just 8 years old
