Terror struck, and you were hit-
Your 911 as had Madrid!
Be thou like the fighters of old,
Joshua fighting strong and bold!

Shoulder-to-shoulder united we stand
Faithful loyal English friend!
Now you children were struck and bled,
By foes you cared for, nursed and fed.

Cowards bit your opened hand,
That sheltered them in secure a tent,
Darkness' monsters spit on the flag,
Stars and Stripes and your Union Jack.

Those you took into your land,
Scorn our values and resent
Freedom, and are teaching hate,
Which they widely propagate..

Rise!- and fight them, friend, be brave!
Strike back hard at the coward knave:-
Faithful, loyal, dependable friend,
Shoulder to-shoulder united we stand!

Be thou blessed for what you did,-
Comrade in arms, true friend in need,
Let now the British Lion roar!
With the Almighty Lord's succor!

Such COWARDS these men!! You have written about it so well! My heart is bleeding indeed for all the innocent victims, and their families. If God Himself does not soon intervene.
