STREET SCENE - LONDON 2013

The sound of running footsteps,

"No, no, please don't" - then a scream.

The knives were out to kill that shout

And murder the hope and the dream.

Harry - these lines followed the appalling street murder a few days ago of a youth who was being pursued through the streets of Pimlico, London by a gang who fell upon him when he tripped and knifed him to death before sauntering off, nonchalantly tucking their weapons out of sight.
This is the reality of modern "multi" London town today.

A pithy all-actioner (with a `feeling` last line to kill the impression of slickness)
