Every Friday afternoon in Chop Square
Crowd jostles
Crowd pushes
Crowd shoves
Screams
Crack
Crowds surge forward
The moan
Head rolls
A victim beheaded in Chop Square
In Riyadh
Saudi Arabia
An ordinary city square
Friday afternoon in Chop Square

The form you’ve chosen fits the poem really well. I think maybe the final line could be omitted, the images are enough. Perhaps the penultimate line could lose ‘In’?
