True story that sadly happened to one of my students.


Crimson Blud



The grief-stricken lad,
Ran to aid
His father,
Lying,
Knifed,
Helpless,
In a pool
Of crimson
Blood.

He lunged
Forward,
And stabbed
Back,
Instinctively
Protecting
His blud.

He served
Two years,
At her Majesty's,
And on the day
Of his Scrubs'
Release,
A single, cruel
Shot,
Rang out -
And he fell,
Lying,
Helpless,
In a a pool
Of crimson
Blood.

The other boy's
Mother,
Had eked out
Her revenge,
Against
The wrong
Person.

He never walked
Again.
