Last night I watched the news “not terror related” emphasised
Confused and scared residents appear shocked, scared and traumatised 

Upsetting, unsettling and unimaginable scenes
Requests to show respect thankfully blocks them from our screens 

The details are scarce and brief but it soon becomes obvious
Whatever happened here is grave and extremely serious 

I think of all those involved and sad tears well up in my eyes
Goosebumps rise on my arms, my emotion takes me by surprise 

Overnight details emerge, speculations are put to rest 
What took place last night, difficult to comprehend and digest 

In six minutes of madness, too many lives taken and lost
One man’s lethal rampage, now his community count the cost

I hope the people of Plymouth and those affected in any way 
Find comfort in knowing, they are in our thoughts and prayers today
