There is blood on the floor
It trails in through the door
The Nurses are tired
Surgeons sick to the core.
Another young life
Cut short by a knife
Never to mature
Or have a child or a wife.
At least one everyday
Just statistics they say
As young as ten
Injured or worse life taken away.
Gangs growing feral
Young kids leave home at their peril
No matter your age
No one is safe from knife rage.

It’s awful sis…
Oct 09, 2019 @ 16:51:12
I know and it’s getting worse 💜
Oct 09, 2019 @ 16:58:59
Scarily so…
Oct 09, 2019 @ 17:47:29
God keep our children safe, please 💜

Oct 09, 2019 @ 18:26:51
I totally agree💜💜
Oct 09, 2019 @ 21:37:12
So bloody awful, isn’t it. Powerfully put.
Oct 09, 2019 @ 21:42:33
It truly is and it seems a daily occurance these days 😟
Oct 09, 2019 @ 23:13:58
Wow. It’s a scary piece, Willow.
Oct 09, 2019 @ 23:24:03
Thank you Robert, the worse thing about it is, is it real, it is happening here , the UK, now.
Oct 10, 2019 @ 18:34:48
I know. These are dark times, Willow.
Oct 10, 2019 @ 21:23:26
They certainly are 💜

A very realistic post and so terrifying at the same time. It’s sad that even during the day most people are forever looking over their shoulder x 💜

I fear for the young , but they are not exclusively affected. I just cannot understand why things are getting so bad. It’s like the world is falling apart! 💜
Oct 10, 2019 @ 09:34:38
I know what you mean. I just can’t believe how much the world is changing and unfortunately not for the better. I fear for the future of our decent younger generation 💜
Oct 10, 2019 @ 12:39:49
So do I , I wonder how they will fare. Let’s hope there is a hero somewhere with real life changing ideas….not holding my breath.💜

Guns or knives. So many young lives lost.
Powerful piece of writing.
This violent world is terrifying.
Oh, if we truly could “give peace a chance.”
Oct 10, 2019 @ 15:04:03
It would be wonderful, sadly that is just pie in the sky.
Oct 10, 2019 @ 13:28:40
Maybe society has always been violent, but there seems to be a lot of it these days.
Oct 10, 2019 @ 12:36:10
The knife crime figures have doubled and trebbeled in the last few years and this year has been horrendous.
Oct 10, 2019 @ 14:42:45
It’s the violence in the classrooms that strikes me. Not just from the kids either. Parents go wellying in if there’s something they don’t like.
Oct 10, 2019 @ 15:07:05
The whole world is to blame, we are spiralling downwards.💜
Oct 10, 2019 @ 15:16:49
Some people are sensitive, but most seem completely brutalised.
Oct 10, 2019 @ 17:30:01
EPIDEMIC
The whole world is sick
At least the human one is
Pustules everywhere
Oct 10, 2019 @ 21:23:57
Yes indeed so true 💜
Oct 10, 2019 @ 18:02:50
I appreciate your piece here plus thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
Oct 10, 2019 @ 21:21:37
It just gets worse 💜
Oct 29, 2019 @ 11:20:58
Scary
Oct 29, 2019 @ 16:05:08
It is isn’t it and sad
Nov 04, 2019 @ 12:25:45
Very real and sad 💜
Nov 04, 2019 @ 13:10:45
It is very very sad , in fact it is extremely frightening 💜
