[hometext] => i felt a lot of different emotions when it happed and i wrote this down as a way of dealing with them all then i put it away in a drawer and forgot about it the quotes are things i heard people on the tv saying
[bodytext] => Was anyone expecting it to happen? Not today back of our minds “Probably inevitable” The terror from so far overseas now on our shores It has happened before in the 1980’s London got used to a "ring of steel" Now again we must learn to "adjust and adapt" “Disruption but not panic” "Horrendous but controllable” Life goes on This is human nature to adjust and adapt Thank God the streets were quiet Now they are showing the weather life goes on Lady with smoked face “it nothing other got worse” Compassion, restraint The dignity of the veteran “Neil Desperanda” We have seen it all before "The emergency services are in control" "There is no panic only shock" What a week London united All eyes on G8 Happy surprise from Singapore Now this "Shock but now surreal calm" “We will not allow this to disrupt our values the terrorists will not succed” I am with you on that Blair but I have not forgotten Iraq Thank God the streets were quiet You lose because you have not broken our spirits Or is their just no spirit numbed by the 20th century Left unshockable We’ve seen it all before Life goes on If we panic if we are hysterical they win Let the healing begin I think we where lucky Life goes on Society always falls in to place Heroes crowned villains named and shamed “Londoners are a tough bunch” Al qaeda have failed shaken but not stirred A dark time to write poetry “Londoners have lived through dark days before” Life always goes on “Londoners have put up with dark days before” Is there a limit to how much you can put up? “Londoners are a tough bunch” I am going to make my lunch now Eat chips Life Human nature Eventually it will become a Tv program all the events neatly ordered and analysed It’s the nature of London and humanity at large to adapt, adjust and move on A blessing?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
