I wrote this after the events in London yesterday...
The day began like any other
Commuters filled the tube and bus
Then suddenly unspeakable horror
Struck at the very heart of us
Explosions rocked the morning air
Bombers wreaking death and fear
The nation shocked in disbelief
That this could ever happen here
An evil deed, a cowardly act
By those with no regard for life
To strike at honest working folk
And cause suffering and pain and strife
The terrorists responsible
Claim this is done in Allah's name
But Muslims up and down the land
Feel anger, betrayal, hurt and shame
For this was not a Muslim act
Islam is not a faith of terror
And anyone who thinks it is
Has surely made the gravest error
A message for the bombers now
Read my words and take them in
We're Brits. We're strong. We will unite
We're better than you - you'll never win |
