Ambushed - Part Two
By Rattle_Spear
27 June 2007
One year later, no closure....

You four fallen heroes

On June 25th 2006 you four died in vain

One year later and justice has failed you all

Your enemies are still languishing in jail

While you are trapped in your graves

 

Your colleagues sought riches in Iraq

They received Dollars for their lives

You were only given two hundred thousand Rand for your lives

You fought the enemy in the concrete jungle

You chose to defend your Country at home against forces of evil

While your family and friends mourn in silence

We await our losses to be avenged through justice

You helped build this democracy

It has failed you dismally in death!

Went back to your original piece to find out what this is all about. A very sad story. I hope it all works out.

What can I say, I have just read the original that you posted and I feel shocked and sick reading what as happened to your comrades, I hope that having written this very moving tribute it will help you find some peace. 
 
My utmost sympathy and condolances to the family and friends of the slain officers.

Thank you for your sympathy and condolences, I am just glad the Bobbies found that Merc in time, avoiding more disaster in London. :sigh  
Keep up the good work and I hope Phil's leg is on the mend.
