I.

A Random act of madness,

many miles away.

But the mildness

of my world changed that day.

II.

The phone call

revealed,

exposing all

once concealed.

III.

Somebody called the Service

(mandated to report).

Now they’re coming for us

and consider taking us to court.

IV.

They came for the boys

and marred my love

as they unleashed their dangerous toys

that rained poisoned arrows from above.

V.

My world on hold.

Abuse enters in.

I have to be bold

in the face of my love’s sin.

VI.

My head spins

upon the news.

My life full of wins

now become the blues.

VII.

I’ll have to fly soon

to be the hero

For the meeting happens at noon

Before my family becomes zero.

VIII.

I put on a brave face

through the rest of the day.

But my heart’s in space

as I sink in the dampened clay.

IX.

This random act of madness

committed by my love,

has unleashed life’s dark wildness.

And now kills the dove.

X.

Gone is life’s peace.

And in comes chaos and fight.

But bravery must be release

or let life go to night.
