A COLD DAY IN SEPTEMBER

It was a Saturday morning

The sun was out, I like many other had a crave for different things

I really wanted some planet yoghurt, chilled smoothie

But I had to work, my plans were cancelled

Many drove to the mall, to Westgate precisely

Children were running up to play, parents were busy shopping

Many young people were hanging out, at their favorite joint

A sunny day turned smoky black

Pwa pwa twaaa twaaa boom boom uuuuiiiiii mummmyyy dadddyyy

All kind of sounds were heard, a really cold day in September

Lives were lost, fear engraved hearts, tension was in the atmosphere

First, second..............................................

Was that not enough?????

Third day........................................................

We cried, we bled but we held hands and we were one

We showed love, kindness and unity

We prayed for each other, we mourned together

It was a cold day in September
