And many do not even see it coming :( Amazing what you've stirred with this brief piece Gershon. Just wow!

Thank you for letting me know, FJ. Sometimes a few words are best. The victims don't need soliloquies. Their blood cries out to us from beneath the ground... Warm wishes, Gershon

Your poem powerfully and succinctly expresses so much, Gershon. It touches the heart of inner city blues. A great write! :) Evelyn

Thanks, Evelyn... We all know and/or know of way, way too many who have died heart-rending, senseless deaths... Here's to Hope! :) Gershon
