“Husband murdered wife over domestic dispute”
Witnesses say they heard yelling getting clearer
The community is shocked and never expected this terror
A husband was angry over losing his kids to his wife
He drove eight blocks to take her life
He broke into her house and broke many things
She came downstairs and the fat lady sings
He knocks her down to the carpet
At three in the morning the air remains scarlet
He strangles her on their couch
Blood filling up in her mouth
At three in the morning she left this life
Why do we do this to our women?

“Husband murdered wife over domestic dispute”
Witnesses say they heard yelling getting clearer
The community is shocked and never expected this terror
A husband was angry over losing his kids to his wife
He drove eight blocks to take her life
He broke into her house and broke many things
She came downstairs and the fat lady sings
He knocks her down to the carpet
At three in the morning the air remains scarlet
He strangles her on their couch
Blood filling up in her mouth
At three in the morning she left this life
Why do we do this to our women?
