G.T.I.

G.T.I.

A Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

Inspired by the news

"

History happens

Split second

Red bricks tossed against glass

A.T.M. Torn out of the wall

Safe in the middle of the street

Buildings burning

Car explosions

Civilization hangs in a string

Police helpless

Even Liverpool goes up in looting hands
