Another Sad Story

A disturbed young man He took a loaded gun To exercise his demons And have some fun. He picked the most innocent From an unsuspecting crowd To make his statement To make his abusive Father proud. A little curly haired child Was dead in his sights His moment of fame To set things right. His trigger squeezed Screams filled the air He breathed in the panic And the devils snare. He turned the gun And swallowed the tip Prepared his soul For his hellbound trip. His Father saw the news His boy now center stage A victim of abuse And a Fathers rage. It sad that any child Carries a story so sad But they learn at home To be good or bad.

So sad. True,"But they learn at home To be good or bad". We parents are responsible for this sad end. We must learn how to become parents in the first place. Love Carl.

Very emotional, "But they learn at home To be good or bad." I wrote a true story, " Here One Minute and Gone the Next" a true example of what you wrote. It is so heart breaking that you have parants out there that should not be a parant. :) eve
