Remember 7/7

Jul 07, 2006 10:39

52 Londoners,
on the Tube
and
a double-decker.
Peacefully
going about
their day
on the day.
7/7.

The Piccadilly Line at King's Cross St. Pancras & Russell Square...
The Circle Line at Aldgate & Liverpool Street...
Another one on the Circle Line at Edgware Road...
And
a double-decker
at Tavistock Square coming from Marble Arch and going to Hackney.
Explosions.
Why?

Scraps of metal
and bodies
everywhere
on the ground
and below.
Why?
Dark and crowded
tunnels.
Panic.
Complete darkness.
Fire.
Faces
black with soot.
Why?

And among them,
a British-born/raised
terrorist.
Dead
among them.
Mission in/complete.
Why?

7/7.
Disgusting.
No more.

I was
there
in those
exact places,
just two weeks
before
mayhem...

52
Londoners
died.
May they
rest peacefully.

Death
by
terrorism.

London
lives.
