A verse
At Shoreham show, August 22, it was a fateful day.
For as a tragedy occurred, 11 lives taken away.
As by cruel fate a plane went down, in seconds to the ground.
And after the great blinding blast, there was not one small sound.
In horror many stood and stared as others looked away.
For as a tragedy occurred, 11 lives taken away.
The media was quick to come as pictures went online.
The footage too flooded in, the line of taste quite fine.
Who wished to be reminded, of that hellish day?
When tragedy occurred, 11 lives taken away.
Speculation did run rife o’er the daily news.
There was much strong embellishment,
The focus some did lose.
For what must be remembered, is to think of those who died.
And not the papers and TV, and whether on some aspects they had lied.
We must stand strong with those bereaved, and by their sides must stay
To help them to remember, the 11 lives taken away.
No matter what did cause the crash, no matter what conclusion is found.
It cannot change the past, as good as that does sound.
For all those lost, do rest on high.
At Peace under the clouded sky.
So when the press has moved along to stories new again
The memories of those lost most surely shall remain.
Remember Shoreham Airshow, on that fateful day
When tragedy occurred, 11 lives taken away.
