L O N D O N

Lament I should what is presently going on in London

Oblong it has turned nation as on 3^rd day riots return

Normal life replaced by hooliganism that is overdone

Devils have taken over so resultantly police is overrun

Over spilled clashes from one spot to others with gun

Never it happened so in the glorious history of London

                                            F A C E

For decades London had been model with glowing face

Achieved it distinction in many spheres and was an ace

Certainly many others leant from it how to live in grace

Exemplary it had been but since few days it’s out of race

                                                 I S

Indeed English people turned violent and we heard whiz

Suddenly how it happened so quickly may I dare to quiz

                                          D E F A C E D

Daring devils came in groups rioting and in turn defaced

Exceeded they to the extent that their nation is defamed

Fires all around coupled with looting has really disgraced

Attacked they police caring least that they will be chased

Counter attacked police and many are in lock up placed

Earns city new name in disgrace which cannot be traced

Drenched in grief I composed on London face is defaced
