CROYDON
I remember Croydon - on the way heading out of town;
What did it ever do to make morons want to burn it down?
I remember Croydon - suburban in each drawn breath;
What did it ever do to become a stage for death?
I remember Croydon - a place to be passing through;
What did it ever do to change from the place I knew?
I remember Croydon - far removed from airs and graces;
What did it ever do to deserve these hate-filled faces?

A poignant tribute to the decent people in society of whatever hue and origin and a calling out that what happened isn't who we are.
