Liverpool a Day In the Life of the 96

A day in the life of the 96 I heard the news today, Oh lord About 96 humming birds Breathing in the miracle heard And though the news was rather sad I had to laugh A crowd of people stood and stared And seemed to mouth the words Justice for our dead I saw a film today, Oh boy The family's army had finally just won the war And the guilty parties had to turn away Having read the report knowing they were caught And though the holes will never go Now they know how may holes it will take to plug a 23 year hole Today the truth your story told Truth at last, Free at last Lest we never forget your righteous path In memory of the 96 and there families, The Hillsborough injustice. Based on " A life in the day " By the Beatles

Hello Christopher, I like the beginning image in your poem, the flock of miracles above. However the news was a hard day to take. True inspiration were the Beatles when needed.. " A life in the day" is a song in which still inspires me till this very day... enjoyed..pd

The last track on the Sgt. Pepper album is "A Day in the Life". This is an interesting write.
