Munich. Poem by guy lipmore

Product of history,
Tragic events of Munich 72
That day in Germany,
The target was every Israeli.
Athletes were held captive,
Some would not live,
Palestinians, and hostages they chose,
To further their cause.
Authorities were not prepared,
Information they had was not shared.
Shoot-out on the airfield,
Carnage and infamy would be revealed.
The games would carry on,
The Olympic spirit had gone.
