I Love Poetry

i wrote this after witnessing on the news, yet another callous murder of pedestrians by someone driving at them in a vehicle.

UNITE WE MUST..

Sirens wailing, people struck,
No time to dodge, no time to duck.
Bile rising, panic ensues,
Another story for the news.

We watch at home, eyes so wide,
Safe and sound, all tucked inside.
As the van it takes, another life,
A sister, brother, man or wife.

Atrocities, it seems so clear,
Repugnant messages of fear.
We cannot let them take the lead,
As people suffer, people bleed.

Unite we must and we will win,
Colour, creed should be no sin.
Embrace ourselves, just human bound,
And join your arms and stand your ground.
