The City
The Helicopter hovered like a Bird of Prey
The City was full of people shopping
The helicopter called out for
Then the bang, it was deafening
Luckily no-ones life had been took
We can stand proud and think
For over an hour in the sky.
I asked the people that were passing
But, none of them knew why.
Buying presents, totally unaware.
That early that morning, there had been
Another IRA bomb scare.
People to hurry and leave.
But the people did not rush and
Through the City they did weave.
And that was a mile away.
We saw the cloud rising above the City
Sadly wondering who'd been killed today.
The only injuries were through flying glass.
A huge explosion had ripped through the centre
But thankfully had missed the mass.
That evil came to Manchester today.
But the spirit of the people is tough
And we will rebuild from its decay.
