Boy In Blue

Mary had her little lamb
I had my Boy in Blue
His courage and valor
Always stayed to be true
Haters will hate and destroy
One followed him one day
A gun cocked and loaded
And took my Boy in Blue away
No rhyme no reason 
No justification for crime
The killer was a Hater 
So goes the storyline
I looked to the Heavens
Asked God why me?
Haters are opportunists
Self glory is their key
Life to them is nothing
A knotch upon their belt
Hate blinds all reason
Remorse not even felt
And what of my life now
Goodbye my Boy in Blue
May you rest and be comforted
Angels arms around you
As for the Hater he is dead 
An arsenal lay at his side
No mercy for the angry 
Return fire was opened wide
Life for life 
No rhyme no reason
Good versus evil
Tis the season
We all will suffer
There is no escape
Love conquers all
Even in a world of hate.

I remember getting bit by a dog one time because it was hurt and I was trying to help. Sometimes pain drives us all to regrettable action. I think the world needs more heroes who can think past the pain of the moment and work for something greater than retribution, or leveling the field, or eye-for-an-eye. May we all find such an escape from what are very troubling times indeed. Excellent write on a difficult subject. Thank you for sharing this one. -G

Ty DT. Sad how youth turns to age. Love turns to hate. People don't even know each other

Ty Probir it does on the subconscious and the surreal.
