Just a great day in the big city
a treat for the couple
their one annual visit was here
a tour of historic sites
look around the stores a show
happy together toe to toe!
Busy hustle and bustle of people
minding their own business
walking enjoying the atmosphere
heard a scooter close by
something wet on their heads fell
and life became a living hell!
Seconds later the pain unbearable
as flesh began to burn
everyone realised both splashed
with a corrosive liquid
was another abhorrent acid attack
time they could not backtrack!
From nowhere water was handed
to passersby who helped
pouring water on to damaged skin
trying to dilute the substance
ease the suffering of the innocence
with tender touch did commence!
The Perpetrators long gone from scene
utter disbelief a savage act
in a city centre street made no sense
or perception of their mentality
soon paramedics were there attending
the search on for those offending!
Both in hospital wounds being assessed
to see extent of tissue damage
as doctors frantically fought to minimise
the long term consequences
of physical restrictions to future living
mentally it would be unforgiving!
Such a despicable act is on the increase
mans cruelty knows no bounds
but what has changed over centuries
those just wanting to live
in peace and harmony wanting unity
without malice in every community!
But always those who are intent on hate
inflicting endless misery
not caring for anybody but themselves
where mercy does not exist
will take at any cost to make profit
for humanity does not give a shit!
Amongst us they roam devils in human form!
