Description
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
As the fledglings slept
The crowds were forming
Flocks scattered
Gunshots were calling
Frantic thieves were on the attack
Screeching foes quickly looked back
Panic set into laughter and fire
Voices grew louder
Change was here
Barriers were set
Police in their place
Fists and handcuffs met
Blood on their face
Watercannons fired
Slow the disperse
Anger turned to survival
The last of the worst
