Another Has Fallen

Harsh words were uttered In mean spirited ways Her mother tried to reason But Susan wanted the stage Her mind was all clouded With hatred and outrage As she let more words out, During her messy rampage Then shattered some dishes And rushed out the door Her mother ran after her, Pleading as before But it didn’t matter to Susan, As it was another bad hair day Her boyfriend had said goodbye And with another he’d play The light rain was still falling The rainy streets were pretty slick But what happened next Really made Susan’s heart sick The scream of those tires, The thud that followed suit As through the night air Tumbled a dirty brown boot Her mother lay crumbled In the street under a light As Susan’s eyes registered This horrid looking sight Anger turned bitter Doesn’t have a winner at all Susan’s knees grew weak As by her mother’s side she did fall No beat from her heart, Only glazed covered eyes Just a dead body in the street Among the wails and sighs
