AN ACROSTIC


AN ACROSTIC

By Peter Woodgate

Grateful those who felt secure
Reserved, perhaps, even demure,
Ensconced within those bricks and mortar,
Never thinking they would be
Fleeing from eternity.
Everyone within that site
Lurching, gasping, sick with fright,
Luckless, some, gave up the fight.

Then, what happened with the question?
Only those in power will know,
Why the use of deadly cladding?
Enveloping those, not worth the fee,
Reeks of a cover-up to me.

  2. Very clever Peter. Wonder if this is the first acrostic on the very much discussed disaster?
