London Knife Crimes

Black and black crime
You got to read about it 
These knife crimes is the breaking news of all time
A hundred dead mankind still not grieving
The Goverment say they're caring
But these youths are constantly dropping
All this body counting have families fearing
Black and black crime is a bit disturbing
Why haven't the government done any intervening
Knife and knife crime is alarming
The government should issue a lifelong warning
Children are dying
Mothers are crying
Graveyards are over pouring
Knife and knife crime is statically concerning
The Government needs to do some serious problem solving
Before these knife crimes are not only a black and black crime
LONDON YOU NEED TO STOP KNIFE CRIMES.

Jan Allison April 7, 2018 at 5:37 AM Powerfully penned Patricia. From what I've read social media plays a great part in these issues escalating into violence, I don't know what the answer is to stop these tragedies occurring. I worry every time I see the news as my son lives there and all it takes in being in the wrong place at the wrong time:-( hugs jan xx Scarlette Howard April 8, 2018 at 11:28 AM Thank you Jan for always being a supportive poet of my work.
