Omagh’s Tragedy

15th August 1998
Carnival parade was really great
Walking down the shopping mall
While the police gets a call.
They try to help, save and so on
but they moved them closer to the bomb

Explosion, destruction, death
See people take their last breath
Blood and corpses everywhere…
Oh look, a piece of child is there!
29 people – as cold as ice
for the IRA. They paid a high price

Why do people often say:
“Those things are far away!”
Next day they lie dead on the street
Without arms, head or feet.
Little children need to cry
‘cause they saw their parents die.
How cruel must persons be
To murder a whole family?!

There’s no white flag, no white pidgeon
Only the war between religion.
Why do they excuse their fight
By swearing: “God says it’s right!”?
I want the terrorists to die that way
Like they kill the innocent every day…!

I know it’s 10 years ago
But it still frightens me so
Just ordinary people like me and you
See, it could happen to us, too.

This is a work for school. We talked about Ireland and so the IRA came in our topics, too.
Then we read a newspaper article about the bombing in Omagh. We were allowed to do whatever we wanted to, for example creating a grave stone, writing the phone call between the police and the terrorists.

After the work was collected we got it back a few days later. She even asked me whether she is allowed to print it and may use it for her teaching material. *proud* But don't think I only want to boast...

Hope Kati will load her poem up, too.

Eine Herausforderung!
Und, wie ich finde, eine sehr gute Übung sich nochmal richtig mit dieser Tragödie zu befassen.
