Broken window,
Damaged door,
Tempers rising,
Personal war,

Clenched fists,
Raised heart,
Eyes bulging,
A man apart,

Words fail,
Closed ears,
Red mist,
Own fears,

Locked door,
Black eye,
Help me,
She cries,

Angry man,
Local law,
He resists,
Once more,

Overnight,
Changed heart,
Apologetic,
New start,

Spilt glass,
Angry man,
Beaten wife,
Changed plan,

Courage found,
To walk away,
And escape,
His drunken ways,

New life,
No fear,
Only joy,
Draws tears,

You can only question,
The methods above,
When they take the soul,
Of someone you love,

When criminal's live,
To repeat each breath,
Spreading all fear,
Avoiding death,

We mourn the past,
Robbed of our time,
A happy future,
Tortured by crime,

We pray in vain,
To bring them back,
Your silent response,
The comfort you lack,

Grief eats me alive,
As anger resides,
Vengeance is real,
Life for a life,

No remorse,
For my actions taken,
A son of no cross,
Forever forsaken.

The world is such a tormented place,
Haunted by the insecurities of every race.
Obsessed with greed and absolute power,
The dictators rained on the weak,
With a gun filled shower.

Brave men were enlisted to bring peace to the land,
To help the weak be strong and to make a stand,
Women and children were left abandoned, alone,
While their men were out fighting protecting our home.

Families shattered by one single blast,
Congregating together in one single mass.
Weeping beside a freshly dug grave,
Lay a widow wishing that he had not been so brave.

We will remember him always for his courage and valour,
By honouring his name in silence upon the eleventh hour.
Rest in peace my friend we are forever in your debt,
We will pray for you all.... lest we forget.

Wise words spoken,
Sleeping mind awoken,
Social media is broken,
Her advice come through,

I refused to nominate,
As I start to contemplate,
Realising my own fate,
What would mother do,

She would say, listen son,
No such thing as harmless fun,
It's not like they hold a gun,
So why should you go through,

If they said climb up high,
And freefall through the sky,
With no chute to deploy,
Would you still go through?

Why don't you just be a man,
Pass up on their stupid plan,
Not drink petrol from a can,
Necknominate a truce,

Fill a box with hearty food,
Help another lift their mood,
Start a trend on different views,
Help your fellow man,

Time to go and make her proud
As I look into the clouds,
My own trend singing loud,
I did this all for you,

The sun in the horizon,
Makes way for the night sky,
Romancing stars blind us,
The Aurora greets our eyes,

Covering your shoulders,
To fight off the evening chill,
Your hand no longer grasping,
Peace amongst the still,

A shooting star passes,
In the heavens I watch you go,
Tears falling from my cheek,
Leaves an imprint on the snow,

This is what we wanted,
So I could not forget,
Our very last moments,
We shared with no regrets.
