Capital Carnage

Remember, Remember, the 7th of July,
When seven explosions decided who’d die .
As underground stations were bombed into hell,
To fulfil the sick plans of a terrorist cell.

Remember the slaughter, destruction and pain,
And the people who'll not see their families again.
Remember the ones who are injured for life,
Who’ll carry their scars through a lifetime of strife.

Remember that people can be so pervert,
As to follow a cause and care not who they hurt.
Is this what's become of the whole human race?
The way some behave is a tragic disgrace.

We'll stand up for Country, for God, and for Queen,
And glorify all that is bloody obscene.
We don't give a damn for the carnage we cause,
As long as we think that we've backed the right horse.

Remember, remember, when London was bombed,
By terrorist fanatics who sung their own song.
But it's not only them who are in evil's spell,
It's half of mankind who reside there as well.

Ivor G Davies


The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

You're back! ~ and in fine form, I see ~  poetically and with another social commentary  for humanity ~ and the lack thereof!!!

There are no words in the English language that can adequately express the deplorable horror of it all.

Love, Harmony & Peace,

Linda

Ivor, I believe, too, in the words you have said
This poem is among the very best that I have read
I am happy to see you back with poems to share
The blue pages seem more empty when you are not here.
