Grenfell Lamentations

My poem today is a lament, mourning those who lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire just over a year ago.

Grenfell Lamentations

O weep, weep in sorrow song
Mourn the dead in candlelight
Cladding blazing up to height
Fire burning fierce and long

Money saving, ever so wrong
Cladding turning into blight
O weep, weep in sorrow song
Mourn the dead in candlelight

Burning, burning, all day long
Dying, trapped, a dreadful plight
No escape, no means of flight
Falling, falling, down headlong
O weep, weep in sorrow song
