Grenfell Tower
Note: I wrote this the night after the attack. I was not in anyway affected by the fire personally but it angered me a lot to know that it could have been prevented and this was my way of venting. I mean absolutely no offence.

London's burning!
London's burning!
Fetch the engines!

Pour on water!

Phones are dialling,

Call for help!

"Where's my daughter?!"
"Where's my daughter?!"
She's still inside.

Grenfell's burning!
But they don't care.
But they don't care.
"Help, help!!!"
"Help, help!!!"
They ignored them,
They ignored them.
Mother screaming,
Mother screaming,
"Catch my baby!"
"Catch my baby!"
Tenth floor!
Tenth floor!
Now he's falling!
Now he's falling!
Grenfell's burning!
Grenfell's burning!
Molten plastic.
Molten plastic.
Black smoke!
Black smoke!
And they can't breathe!
And they can't breathe!
There were neighbours,
There were neighbours ,
Among those helping,
Among those helping,
Hack, hack!
Hack, hack!
With the axes,
With the axes.
London's burning!

Fetch the engines!
