30 years have gone by
Since the devastating day of 15th April 1989
96 shining stars we view in the night sky
The day where rivalries draw a line
Back then the system gave Football fans injustice
Hoping and protesting for true justice
Years of failings from the police
Longing for justice so the 96 can rest in peace
The fans were never to blame
Liverpool will continue lighting the eternal flame

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem was written two years ago when it was 30 years since the tragedy of the Hillsborough disaster. This year the 97th victim lost his life due to injuries sustained at the match 32 years ago. Rest In Peace to the 97, you’re gone but never forgotten. JFT97

That eternal flame will be alight forever in the minds of those who remember that sad day.
Fine words Cheyenne.

How well you expressed the past with a remember ace of true accord and at the same time inspired
So true eternal flame shall never extinguish
Timeless. Just as the memory it commemorates. Well sculptured, from the heart. Thank you.
