My heart just bleeds for Manchester, a city I knew well.
The television shows me scenes that might have been from hell!
All the grieving parents and the children traumatised.
I know we’ve seen it all before but, still, we are surprised!
What mindless, vile perversion of an ever loving God,
Would slaughter all those innocents. This must be more than odd!
Such hatred has been nurtured by an evil-minded few,
Who sit there in the background as safe as me and you!
They want to see a backlash of vengeance and of hate
Against their Muslim brothers, for they would deem this great!
They want to see a holy war between Islam and the rest
And how we may avoid it only God knows best.
Responding with more violence is acting like a dope!
Christ said “love your enemies” and fill the world with hope!
Love must be the answer. We all have parts to play.
We can help our neighbours, whatever vile men say!
Who then is our neighbour? Anyone in need
Even those we do not like. This is love indeed!
Hatred breeds more hatred, but hatred will not win
If we show the love of God throughout this world we’re in!
I saw this love in action on the streets of Manchester
Muslim taxi drivers who would not accept a fare!
Muslim men and nations, standing side to side with us,
Sharing all the love of God. Let us not miss the bus!
