This is to anyone that has lost someone due to knife abuse..... Mostly to Blayne Ridgeway.
Live by the knife & Die by the Knife
Hood up
Let’s stroll these streets and put fear into people’s lives
Let us hang on the side and watch the streetlight flicker
A couple passes by and we joke and whisper, let’s knick her
Hood up
I’m thinking to myself ,’What’s Up’
And I can’t even answer.
My blood is pumping, I have a rush
Let’s do something as I spot some Breh
I can’t stop to stare
My hand starts twitching
Hood up
I approach him and next thing I know I’m staring
At him on the ground
“Run”
Screams my conscience
And run I do
Hood up
Now there’s a boy, standing in the corner,
There's a tear running down his face,
There's a blade, gripped between his fingers,
A knife filled with someone’s memories
Drip, Drip, Drip, Drip
My conscience is singing with excitement
“It means you're weak and sick inside,
A coward too, No cause for pride
Why not just throw that knife away
And live to see another day?
That would be brave and cause no grief -
Death is so long and life so brief.”
Hood Down....
*Police siren*
Voice in the Dark whispers
RUN!

Deep. That's a beautiful poem! How many more have you got?

Yeah, do I have to set up account in order to follow you? Yeah, the Blane Ridgeway stabbing was horrific... I hate to think what that was like his family, his girlfriend and their child; they must have been, and obviously still are, devastated. But you know, I also feel sorry for the family of the boy who stabbed Blane, his mother especially; she tried her best to bring him up, he was in a loving home.. but he got involved with a bad crowd, and their influence took its toll and wrecked his life as well.
ReplyDeleteYeah you have to set up a quick account... its pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteYeah sooo many reasons. It's a deep case. Feel sorry for both families. They both lost 2 sons.
