Started out a good day,
Prayer, quietness, serenity,
Within a moment the silence had gone,
You surely knew something Terrible was wrong.

The noise like you've never heard before,
Horrific noise- Shootings of guns,
As if we were all at war,
The killings and lives taken,
Should never! have happened or be done.


Within a moment our Muslim
community were taken from us,
No warnings- No escape no time to run.

Lost and killed in a world full of hate,
Our city of Christchurch is full of
Love, not hate,
To many lives taken and killed; not to
Survive.

We had a hero who never made it,
But his name will be carried on,
Just a moment; a minute; of silence
To respect our brothers and sisters
Now gone.

To write this poem of such tragedy,
Isn't something to be done,
