Dedicated to those lost July 7th, 2005 in the London Underground Bombings

There’s a child in London
who still doesn’t know,
what happened to his daddy,
and why life has slowed.

There’s a child in London
now laying in a bed,
attached to tubes and monitors,
bandages covering their head.

There’s a child in London
no one will ever meet.
Mommy took the tube;
life ended; incomplete.

There’s a child in London
inconsolablewith tears,
As they learn of the terror,
The child finds comfort in prayers.

There’s a child in London
who will never be the same,
and as they grow up,
they’ll learn who to blame.
