WAR ON THE STREETS OF WOOLWICH
Stopping death of Muslims was the reason that they gave
For killing a poor soldier who was butchered to his grave
‘Help the Heroes’ t-shirt was the top that he did wear
With a military rucksack; a cross he had to bear
They saw this as a signal; a red rag to a bull
But these bulls were full of hatred and for life their senses dull
Two evil brutes they hacked at him; blow on blow, they reigned
No crowd could even manage such evil to restrain
This poor unsuspecting soldier was off duty; not at war
But treated like an animal; left lying at death’s door
The horror was for all to see, no person spared the view
The beasts that came to kill that day insisted cameras knew
“Allah Akbar!!!” they did rant as they tortured this poor guy
“God is great” translated!! NO ACT OF MUSLIMS; they did lie
And when they’d carried out, such heinous acts so sick
They preached to the disgusted that this should do the trick
“ You people won’t be safe,” they declared for all to hear
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” is what they heard one jeer
Crazy and deluded; harrowing and sad
These blood crazed evil butchers; with their accomplishment quite glad
Madness did ensue from the moment people saw
Exactly what was going on; the horror and the gore
One woman did protest to the guy that had a knife
She questioned his mad actions: “Drop the weapons; change your life!”
But with these blood crazed individuals, no reasoning was to be
They believed in their ‘just cause’, their hellish acts they didn’t see
So the police they did arrive, intervened and took up charge
Officers with firearms, the lunatics at large
These Muslims with their guns and knives were now in hot pursuit
The woman marksman shot them both and took down the vicious brutes
Captured and detained, now questioned for their acts
Meetings after meetings; churned up all the awful facts
Abhorrent deeds to hurt us in a worldwide spread of fear
Threat of more reprisals; all British shed a tear
Cobra was its codename, even military were shocked
Soldiers all around the land, weapons wait half-cocked
Muslims felt such outrage as their faith was used to kill
Christians feeling anger, this would never be God’s will
But despite the shock being global please let’s not forget that day
A woman lost her husband; a baby’s father took away ........

for me this is a good tribute piece rachel.im catholic but what they did to this man was disgusting . in front of a nation ,on television brought tears to my eyes. it proved to the world that extremists are out there among us .hacking him the way they did was no excuse for the war. it was cowardly and for the way it was captured on film ,blood on the murderers hands after brought home that anyones life can be taken in such circumstances . good write rachel !! tina x
Cheers Tina, it is hard which way to go with something like this; and some people may feel it shouldn't be written about all time, but as you know I don't tend to shy away from such subjects and I hope it told the story in a respectful manner!!! Thanks for reading :)
Another great narrative poem Mrs Gardiner, very relevant as it's the trial this week, congrats X:)
Thanks Jason, such a sad story saw it in the news again and it was heartbreaking to see the family!! Wanted to put it on to relay the message:)
great write Rachel voted and nomed cheers x
Thanks for your kind comments Susan :)x
Heart breaking, this morning I posted
A photo of Lee and a poem,
now I see yours, and doubly torn
tragic and tears, madness.
Your poem speaks volumes
my heart to the suffering family
kind regards to Rachel, Jai.
Cheers Jai, yes a harrowing and heartbreaking story to be told; more poignant now it has come to sentencing!! I cannot imagine what the family must be going through, particularly at this time of year! Thanks for your kind comments :)
Hello Rachel,
A very beautiful poem in honor of a truly falling soldier, whom was placed in the eyes of all the world to see...Yet they claim to in the name of God, whatever (God),(his captors) claim to serve, truly isn't the one you ,I and all others, that speak out against such inhuman acts of atrocities. The same God they prayed to while engaged in this horrific crime, will be the same (God), that takes his delight in inviting and accepting them into the gates of hell, thus being (Lucifer).Wonderful poem and for such a sad reason for it to have to be created but for a cause well worth it, for us all to take heed to and out loudly bring attention to its address. A tribute well done by the poet and well beyond deserving by this young man, in the eyes of all.......
In honor of Lee,
Jim
Hi Jim, hope you are well and have a great time at Christmas and New Year. Pleased you thought the piece a fitting tribute. It is such an awful story and a sad legacy they have left for this family; no one should have to go through that; and it certainly wasn't an act of faith!! Thanks for reading Jim, your kind words are always much appreciated :)
very sensitive subject rachel x but as usual very well portrayed ! hon so sad
Cheers hun, as always appreciate your kind comments :)
OMG what a horrific story and wonderful write to honor this soldier! "Islam" means surrender and submission. This faith is one of violence and is based on the determination that all people of every nation must surrender and submit. As one who believes in God the scriptures speaks about these children of Ismael…Ezekiel 8:17…"For they have filled the land with violence and have turned again to provoke me in anger… "Therefore will I also deal with wrath; my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with loud voice, yet I will not hear them." There will be a reckoning and a punishment.
Excellent write!!!
val
Thank you Val, it was truly an horrific story and one that is only now being sentenced. What an unhappy Christmas this family will now have!!! Thanks for your kind comments :)
Blow by blow of exactly what happened very tastefully drawn out. You reminded me of details I'd forgotten. Well written! I think this is one to be proud of!
Thank you Random Enigma, what a lovely thing to say :)
