A fallen soldier in the road,
men run wild with cleavers and machetes
blood covered hands
pumped full of adrenaline
jumping and running around the streets
preaching their story
hundreds of passer bys
standing watching
recording images
they do not falter either
they continue filming as this man lays lifeless on city street
they do not join together and run at these men to restrain them
they stand, and watch and record
even when approached by a man with a weapon as he outlines why he killed the soldier, they do not run for safety,
this is not Angola, This is not Palestine or Syria,
this is Woolwich, broad daylight 2013
