Going to an arena to see your favourite star, Your breath hitches and eyes gleam, Strobe lights and smoke machines bursting in fits past you while you scream the words. Your parents thought you were safe, Your friends and you both think you're safe but you aren't. Pops fill the building, "It won't happen to me" you think until rubble spits and screams hiss at you like serpents. Pounding footsteps stampede towards you, your heart is in your throat and your body shakes. Numbness rings through your ears and your eyes look for the nearest exit signs but you can't run, your legs have no feeling but you can't tell if it is adrenaline or fear. It's neither. Shrapnel is embedded into your legs and blood is making the floor sticky. Like beer and ale on a pub counter. You don't think 'ISIS' or 'EXTREMISTS' You think that if you survive then you're going to make your life matter, you're going to get through this if only you make it to that exit. The beauty of Britain is that people start helping you, picking you up from the Steps where you're laying, avoiding being trampled from frantic passer-bys. They lift you to safety and help the injured out because in our country where racism is a threat we all stand together. 'Heed our warning' means nothing when our country stands together to fight this violence. Never test a Briton's patience because you are the one that hasn't heeded our warning. We stand together
