The Candelária Massacre Poem by Sophie Allyah

At midnight hour police began shooting
In the vicinity of holy church
Eight homeless people killed before scooting
Including six minors the ground engorge

Before this brutal mass killing happened
Group of children threw stones at police cars
Only makes them a target at the end
A cruel payback beneath the moon and stars

Near Candelária church the hap took place
Where seventy homeless kids sleep in raw
This is one of the worst massacre case
In the town of Rio de Janeiro

This story's about hate and vindictive
At least two policemen were convicted
