Below is a poem that Year 7 student, Susan Anjorin, wrote and then read in assembly this Thursday morning. It is a sensitive yet defiant response to the tragic bombing that took place in central Manchester on Monday evening:
On an early Tuesday morning
A regretful day arrives
As we wake up from our slumber
And find that many have lost their lives
Several cry out in sorrow
As some will not wake up tomorrow
And see the sun blazing bright
But we have not yet lost the fight
We Mancunians will stay strong
Because together is where we belong
You may think you have won,
That this is it and we are done
But we’re here with one another,
Supporting each other
And we will fight back
After this horrific attack
We may have different languages, religions and jobs
But we stand together, we are never alone
And in upsetting times like these,
We fight for justice for this city we call home
To the friends and family of the ones who are gone,
We can all help out and come together as one
To the ones that have left this world too soon,
We will remember you.
Never forget – 22 May 2017
