Heroes

Heroes

10 years old, what kind of an age is that to die?
Cheated out of a life, and people wonder why we still cry.
Trapped in a cage, not worthy of an animal’s pen.
Policed by cowards and liars, not fit to call themselves men.
They just stood by regardless, when there was so many
lives to save.
Every panic stricken second they wasted, sent another
fan to their grave.
And when that next piece of silver, no doubt came their way.
They should have dedicated their medals, to the real heroes
of that day.
For those that saved lives that afternoon, wore scarves of red, not
uniforms of blue.
And they can hold their heads up high forever, something the South
Yorkshire police can never hope to do.
