Fallen Gladiators In The Arena

Fallen Gladiators In The Arena

It was supposed to be a night of fun, at the Manchester England Arena;

Youngsters came to hear Arianna Grande, their favorite singing Queen!

Many parents stood across the street, as their children filed in;

A while later, they heard loud cheers, then the concert did begin!

 

All went well throughout the show, then it came to its finality;

But a monster waited in the exit hall, who had planned a tragedy!

As the foyer filled with excited teens, he set off a deadly bomb;

That killed twenty-two, injured many more, of the parting heavy throngs!

 

Brave Gladiators fell with no chance to fight, in this Arena filled with death;

Cowards of terrorism have struck again, leaving the world so totally bereft!

In every country tears freely flow, for these fallen Angel Kids;

It’s time for us to all unite, and the Earth of these monsters rid!

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

It is hard for me to imagine that these monsters, would purposely single out children to annihilate. It is truly a world gone mad.  Somehow, we all have to unite to remove these inhumans from the face of the earth.  Thank you so much for your most kind words.  As for missing some of my work, you need to take care of yourself first.  Maybe someday soon, we'll be watching you win "The Voice".

Peace, Love and Rockets,

Larry xxx

My Dear Debs,

I am sure we all share the horrible pain in our hearts, for this travesty perpetrated upon innocent children.  Somehow, the world needs to band together, and erase these monsters from the face of the earth.  Thank you for your sweet words.

Hugs, Peace and Love,

My Dearest G,

First of all I send my deepest condolences to you and your country for this devastating tragedy.  We are dealing with people that are inhuman, and somehow have to be totally eliminated from our world.  Thank you for your lovely words my sweet Angel.  

We love you dearly too, and will be praying for the people of your country who lost their Beloved, kindred Angels.

All our love,

Linda and Larry xxx

My Dear Sweet Rose,

These monsters will answer to a much higher power than us, on Judgement Day.  What a brutal world we now live in, to think that anyone will target these young innocent children.  Thank you Sweet Rose, for I know how many young people in your own country, have brutally suffered too.

Love you,

Hi Larry,  sorry for responding late # I have missed so many great poems ## Have been busy lately ##

It was a very sad tragedy  indeed.  # Innocent people fell prey to these maverick form of insanity ## let's stand together to fight these attacks.   Let's bring peace and love, not hate  because hate cannot drive out hate!! 

Great ink and a well deserved nomination!! 

Peace and cheers

My Dear Leah,

Thank you so much for those lovely words.  Somehow the world has to band together and eliminate these monsters from the earth, for you are right, it is a "maverick form of insanity".  Once they are gone, we will again have peace and love.

Hugs, Peace and Love,

Larry xxx
