I wrote this poem last year in memory of the 96 souls who perished in 1989 at the Hillsborough disaster. Because of police ignorance and stupidity, 96 people lost their lives at a football match. Written from the heart Cry Me A Tear Cry me a tear, wipe it away does it make you feel better about that terrible day. Cry me a tear, wipe it away again the good days we had, will it ever be the same. Cry me a tear, maybe you don’t understand what went on that day, in that horrible stand. Cry me a tear, and wipe it away how come that tear keeps appearing, each and every day. Cry me a tear, for the hurt and the cost for the Kop is still silent, for its people it lost. Cry me a tear, for we are still hear wipe it away, but you won’t stop the tear. Cry me a tear, for the lads and the lasses we cross many borders and are loved by the masses. Cry me a tear, for the loud and the proud we won’t ever walk alone, even lost in a crowd. Cry me a tear, I think not the 96 victims the media conveniently forgot. Cry me a tear, for the fans that survived think of the grief and tears that they hide Cry me a tear, for the families that grieve with your help and mine lets hope they receive. Cry me a tear, for the faith and love that they all had with hope in their hearts, it’s terribly sad. Cry me a tear, for the future is bright its time for the red phoenix to flex its red might. Cry me a tear, for the true people you are whether local or away from a far. Cry me a tear, let it run down your face remember dignity, pride and grace. Cry me a tear, for the pride that we bear its our life and a hope that we share. Cry me a tear, for the sick in their hands they mock us and skit us, one day they will understand. Cry me a tear, for the weak and the infirm for they have been true reds history can confirm. Cry me a tear, for the loved ones we’ve lost whatever the pain or values it cost. Cry me a tear, for our ancestors who walked alone a head they set standards high, for the men dressed in red. Cry me a tear, don’t ever forget lift your head up proud, lest never forget. Cry me a tear, for the youths of today lets hope they never forget that horrible day. Cry me a tear, King Kenny was boss he felt it all and cried at the loss. Cry me a tear, for the team that we had its glory is rich but terribly sad. Cry me a tear, with hope in your heart think of loved ones drastically pulled apart. Cry me a tear, for all the true reds lets hope you can settle in your comfortable beds. Cry me a tear, for we don’t know your name we may walk right past you each and every game. Cry me a tear, as long as I last with god’s will and strength I will never forget our past. Cry me a tear, for those left behind who live each day with thoughts in their mind. Cry me a tear, cry for the 96 that died cry me a tear, for the press that lied Cry me a tear, with hope in our heart think of the loved ones drastically drawn apart. Cry me a tear, some say it’s just a football team its bigger than that, its more than a dream. Cry me a tear, wipe them all away we love and feel for them everyday. The 96 are now immortal, never to be forgotten, my heart still bleeds and feels for you and those you left behind. One day, we will all meet up in heaven, my thoughts are with you. Cry me a tear, because I haven’t stopped crying yet. Justice For The 96 |

A long poem related to something that I love: football. "Cry me a tear, for the loud and the proud we won’t ever walk alone, even lost in a crowd." My favourite. |

Hi Chris, I was watching the match that awful day, I thought at first they were fighting, though we knew soon after those poor souls were being crushed by the people behind who could do nothing. Your poem is from the heart thanks for sharing. regards Richard. |

  (sad sigh) I was only six when this tragic incident happened, but yet I remember the images on the television so well and it saddens and angers me deeply to see how the media was so cold and uncompassionate to the tragedy and they should all be ashamed of themselves for disrespecting these 96 innocent people who should never have died that day! God Bless You, this is a powerfully heartwrenching debut! Welcome to Passions, sweet Chris, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your wonderful words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
