On England Bloom this poem was tragically inspired when two very young girls were abducted, raped and murdered 12/06/03
Two girls have left this land of sin As parent’s like a planet spin A nation and a world does cry For stealing that we hold so high
Two girls so young and that is sad That breaks our hearts and makes us mad We cannot understand why so To hurt such girls as pure as snow
To steal such laughter joy and trust To stop these crimes we always must Remember amongst this evil race That hanging has a fitting place
On bended knee I pray this day That these two girls have gone away Though parents grieve for dreadful life That hand of God does save such strife
For innocence stolen and denied I trust with God they are by his side And pain forgotten and place to stay Of dreams that have a place to play
But know that on the land they pass With rotten weed and craggy grass Will grow two roses English born Forever bloom on English Morn

About this poem:
When I read about this tradegy I was moved to tears at the loss of such innocence and at the same time angry at such a crime. Both very strong emotions (grief and anger) that stirred in me a need to express my feelings.
I do write poetry that whilst driven like many arts by emotion, are inspiring as well. Thank you for letting me share it...great idea this forum. :)
