Notes About The Poem
This write addresses the sensless murder of Blue Stevens.' Just two days Ago.' I here do my best to raise awarness for the heartbroken family.' And I think also of the many other victims.' So abysmally failed by the broken System that passes for law in this torn land.'

This one's for Blue'

I used to say come to London.' Yet not now.' The violence
Is spiralling.' There is less value wow.' Not of tawdry glam
And glitz and such.' Yet of life.. and futures they don't seem
Worth that much.' I know Blues familiy.' No nonsense folk
Now living a nightmare.' Delivered by the social enrichment
Joke.' In 'sad-diks london...Or londinistan.? Its violence in
The morning.' Afternoon, evenings.' Who's the next target?
There must be a plan.? As it seems systemic yet some dystopian
Action
Slam.' Against the values that have endured.' Through times
Hourglass sands.' As Christianity has been mocked indeed
Reviled.' So has lawlesness exploded.' Perceptions run wild.'
Rampant violence.' Has entered Englands womb.. And things arn't quiet..Nor will they be anytime soon.'  Will there
Be justice by the authouritys.? The people require redress.'
Just look back three decades..It was never like this mess.!!!
If you live in Britain.' I advise raise your voice.' Or perhaps a
Finger or two .? Email inspector Christina Jessah.' Let the reckoning start with you.'

This is heartbreaking, Joe; my condolences and prayers to the family. The very things we advocate for, tolerance, patience and love, are also our shared vulnerabilities. In Arizona we are permitted now, to carry concealed weapons...no one wants to live that way...but it has helped. It is a must for women. Blessings my friend.

Moral Statesmen are in a severe decline. Government cannot, will not protect citizen's rights...because they are political, their business is politics...by hook or crook wanting to get reelected -- so will go where they feel the elective winds will blow. Give them too much power, and they will challenge the very winds of God. No one wants to live in the wild west, so to speak, but the death of European sovereignty started when citizens allowed their first amendment rights to be curtailed. A disarmed population, is soon to become a population subjected to totalitarian rule. Really had enough with Europe wailing about US Gun rights. Chickens are coming home to roost.

Its time to face the truth..Look Maybe this young man was not A Saint..I can't say as I knew his Older relatives.' Not him..Maybe he was better than I can imagine.? Yet its all beside the main point I want to see (heavy time for the killers!) And so must any fair minded human.' There are others Out there that can be protected from this.' Is the government listening though.?

That's sad, Joe. Violence is escalating everywhere in the world. People hate religion and God and the more we hear of this hate, the more we see of violence. I know religion caused violence through the centuries, but moral people who practiced good values, whether they went to a church or not, if they were simply kind people, we did not have all this violence. Governments are failing miserably. Society is contributing to the mess. All this chaos is what the New World Order wants. It's so sad.

Its very shocking Andrea, apparantly the blade hit his heart...But he is not the only one A kid in Southend had his thigh Slashed so he would give up his pushbike, i saw the wound it was 4 inches long and you could See the inner white muscle ' not That much blood so deep i guess? He could only have been 11.? And its being pushed on us a de-sensitization of awareness.' Take care stay strong.'
