Almost Justice – A Vox Political reader’s poem about the Hillsborough verdict

A special commemorative service at St George’s Hall in Liverpool saw crowds gather in their thousands to applaud the families of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster.

This was posted as a comment to a previous article, but it’s too good to leave there.

The jury gave their verdict
The establishment held its breath,
The jury said the police force
was responsible for every death,
Responsible for ending the lives
of every single one
Of Liverpool’s fathers, mothers,
boys and girls who in those tragic
few minutes were gone.
The innocent at a football game
Lost to their loved ones for ever more,
Were then blamed for their own deaths
By a rotten to the core,
Police force, and political class
With their filthy rag in tow,
They lied and lied and fabricated,
A snake could not go so low.
The lies were repeated as the truth
For twenty seven years until,
Justice finally came to call
And the real truth made the kill,
It killed the lies and conspiracies
Of all the years since that day
And now it’s time for the conspirators,
To face justice in the same way.

      The same result would be a great achievement and might actually mean that there is still a core of decency in this, for now, corrupted land.
