it can happen to anyone

He would not have done anything bad they chanted
Because he was a minister, a man of God
She could not be guilty, the neighbors agreed
She loved the children, she could not hurt them
They are all wrong
Everyone has a breaking point
They had both reached theirs
Neither acting rationally
Both out of their minds with rage
Murders, labelled for life
Due to one horrible moment
One momentous mistake
It can happen to anyone
Never say never
