Knife crime in britain by ~gneralshock06:icongneralshock06:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


Theres blood spilled on the pavement
Another urban delight,
Some gang of kids has stabbed someone
Because they got pissed tonight,
They’ve left the poor kid bleeding
No friendly face in sight,
They severed the femoral artery
He won’t make it through the night,
I’m not sure which is worse
The motive or the act,
The way that he was stabbed
Or that they did it for a laugh,
The attacker’s won’t show remorse
Their faces show only fear,
When before the judge and jury
They’re sentenced to 20 years.

this was inspired by a number of high profile stabbings of teenagers, most who did nothing but find them selves in the wrong place at the wrong time

I heard about that. That boy that was going to be in Harry Potter was stabbed and killed protecting his little brother, wasn't he? That is insane how poeple can do things like that. They will get what they deserve in the end though. You reap what you sow.
