The press were still reporting
About the slaughter at the station
For days after.
Lacing into the carnage
With every angle imaginable
From the young girl
At W H Smiths
Who thought she saw a ghost
And the policeman
Who nearly died
For the following two weeks
In the hospital
Almost convinced that God
Sent him a angel
To guide him
Into the afterlife,
Interlinking human interest stories
With the just plain daft
And melodramatic
From schoolboys shielding
Their pet dogs,
To a train driver
Who slept through everything
In his carriage,
Bleeding out every ounce
Of possible news
They could
Before they would move
Onto the football
Just up the road,
Totally not realising
This was just the beginning
Of the end.

Nice work, Andy.
Topical and bang on, Andy. With the shivering promise of more.
Would you consider changing 'about' to 'on', in that second line?
