Greetings From The UK

Sundays are significant, you will hear me cry.
You can accept this fact, or maybe ask why.
Why should this day, merit such a performance.
Why does it attract, so much importance.

bullet

This day is not religious, from my perspective.
Just my day set aside, to become reflective.
Of those 17 lost men, to remember so well.
Their blood sprayed across, this political hell

bullet

Just one incident, that I am prepared to say.
There has been many more, that form a "Bloody Sunday".
Experience death, and life threatening obscenity
Too many decisions, questioning to infinity

bullet

Too many obscene incidents, are acted out on this day.
Some perverse religious logic, seems to get in the way.
To redress this balance, is a simple mans view.
Adding beauty this day, for then it becomes true

bullet

Remembering the beauty, of the souls now lost.
For it is the value of their short lives, and not the cost.
So if I can succeed to add a quiet peace to your Sunday.
I celebrate their memory, in this small way.
