I cried myself to sleep last night
For Manchester
The death toll rose to 22,
The injured to 59
Olivia Campbell’s still not been found,
Though they found her friend Adam in hospital.
The dead were someone’s children.
One was as young as eight.
Lives senselessly cut short
Justin Welby called Manchester ‘heroic’.
I’m not even there,
But these tears are burningly real.
Thank you for the bravery we see.
Thank you for the compassion we see.
Evil will never triumph over good.
The two homeless heroes
Who stopped to help the wounded
Are proof of that.
