...ell at him, Talk!

His eyes revealing guilt, shame, anger and fear

Do I detect in the corner of his eye a drop of tear?

Why, I ask him – did he have any heart at all?

He hangs his head in shame, avoiding my eyes and staring at the wall.

I think of the little angel whose life was so cruelly cut short

And her mother whose depth of agony I cannot begin to fathom.

Tightening the grip with my finger

I resist the uncontrollable urge to pull the trigger.

An eye for an eye makes the world go blind

But isn’t turning the other cheek on such a cruel act out of your mind?

My blood boils as I want to finish this monster with the gun armed and ready

When I hear a sweet little voice from behind crying, Daddy!

Punishment

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o
