The Trolley Man Poem by Paul Warren

The Trolley Man

Rating: 5.0


He couldn't find a place to stay
So living on the street was his only way
Until a Friday in Bourke Street Melbourne town
A Terrorist set fire to a utility with gas bottles piled ‘round

And an innocent man was stabbed to death
By the Terrorist with a knife in danger's breath
A struggle ensued with the police
Trolley man stepped in to help in the police relief

Lashing out with a knife danger bound
He helped corral the Terrorist going down
Instead of leaving to back away
He assisted the police in a courageous stay.

So now we honour him
For bravery shown in a courageous hymn
Terrorist is such a modern scourge
To stand up to it Trolley Man was there without urge.

This is something to talk about; very frankly expressed.
