Hand Me Down Blues

That was an Excellent poem ,well written and sad but true, crime is bad everywhere, the flow great and ice put, great job keep up the good work, your friend Tracy

Broken children, murdered wives
Victims lay where crime survives
Homicide marked with chalk lines
Snapped long ago ties that bind
^^^^
Heart breaking the reality of this stanza. So many times we close our eyes to the things happening that when we finally open them ... it is such a shock.
Very hard hitting write with deep impact upon the heart.
Wonderfully penned!

Thank you for your comment on my poem also. Very much appreciated.

The saddest thing about this poem is that what you've written is exactly true. People never really care why others have done what they have done, they just care about justice. Great poem.

Take Care.
