Notes About The Poem

THIS IS A TRUE STORY.!!!

A stab in the dark

Niel Charles was a regular thief, I hope ' not a killer?
Well he came to grief; Bury St Edmunds. Market town
June 2021 himself he found. Tryiing some doors at
 private houses around, its what he was doing no need to spice it.'
A father and son surname King, went to confront him
And here is the thing,' one with a knife; the other a short sword
Both going seperate, is what I've took on board.. Some
Altercation must have ensued? Between Neil and David
King, the father as told in the news' Neil was fatally
Wounded and died.' David called the cops thirty eight
Seconds inside.) His son named Edward was he a part?
Of the death of Neil? That touches different hearts' Neil
Left a sister, who no doubt grieves.' Theres a mother and
Wife Heather..King who believes.' That this was all a tragic
Event..Yet the 'jail time given does not represent' a just
And fair handling, of the case as tried..ninteen years for
Edward on the inside, David got twenty one is it harsh? What
To think? Should they appeal? Look for a chink? Edward a
Store worker David he built..Now what a lot they have lost..
And a man was killed.' So much sadness in this affair,
Did  the system deal with all aspects fair.? It calls for
Refection on our values in life, for the many decisions
That affect everyone on all sides.'

Joseph P. DiMino September 13, 2024 at 7:48 AM Lot's of serious questions about morality you raise? Great writing by the way! If someone threatened or harmed a family member in front of me...in a fit of rage, I would opt to show no mercy. If, given time to reflect, in a saner frame of mind, I would not demand the individuals execution. I get it, the dark conceals, real and imagined conceals a lot of Truth -- but nothing is concealed from God. Joseph P. DiMino September 13, 2024 at 8:05 PM Same thing going on in the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJy67osaAP0 Same as the US -- probably funded by the same International Marxist, terrorist organization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIJ_Dpjv3S4 Joseph P. DiMino September 13, 2024 at 1:26 PM I agree. Folks need to feel that justice is blind, and is fairly administered to all...without that, blood pressures go up, and then people begin to take the law into their own hands. Civilization breaks down into clans, vigilantism. Rational, moral thinking flies out the window. In the US, I do not know anyone that still has faith in our federal sham justice department. There have always been a few bad apples...but what is going on now is beyond the pale. Joe Maverick September 13, 2024 at 12:41 PM We do not know exactly, and I Suppose those involved would Not know exactly? Once one move is made.. Another can follow, or more than one? The Judge in this case made a descision I am wondering if it Was too harsh?? Again does The law being too harsh cause More reprecussions? Thank you For dropping in mate.!
