Right here in Baltimore, son kills mother with bat, then tries to kill the father right where they live at.
First story
morning fury,
well I'm sorry
can't believe the first hurry
get it out of my face
put something better
in its place.
Tell me something good
it's better for my mood.
Son kills mother with bat,
right where they live at.
Argueing over school grade
had to be more
for the price she paid.
Father comes home
he got some,
but didn't succumb.
There's got to be more,
get the rest
then knock on my door.
I think we've become weaker as a society. So much more permissible. Perhaps, in a round-about way we're all to blame. Human life seems to hold no more value than a video game. Peace, Love and God's Blessings Always, Paul.
So sad, sad, sad. This happens everywhere. Doesn't seem to matter where you live. Excellent write. Liz

What a horrible heartbreaking tragedy! A couple of years ago a teenager burnt a home, killing his mother and aunt. The kid was high on meth ... So very sad and very well penned ... hugs
WHAT is WITH these bats??? Man in Dallas just recently beat his ex-wife to death with a bat, just before she entered door to her workplace. Sad. Why don't these people just jump off a high bridge? Oh, this guy tried to do just that, but police talked him down. But, a child...to his Mother? Extra Sad. And you expressed your sadness well in this poem.
