Life
Blood
Red
pumping heart
cheerful fun
serenity
peace
Death
Blood
Red
flowing forth
days are gone
sky grows black
NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE
Words pouring forth from the mouths of babes
Naive and unthinking
It wasn't supposed to happen
Bread
Water
Love
Life is maintained by these
The killing of a heart
body goes limp
INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER
Words crash against each other
Hearts break like expensive china
thrown at the husband
for emphasis
Blood red emotions
departing in a painful flow
from the broken heart of another
Did I do that
How was I to know of the consequences
of simple
truths
INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER
