Poem -
What About Them
I woke up this morning.
A local man was sentenced today for killing his three month old son.
Two teens were injured in a drive-by shooting while walking home from school.
A woman dies after being struck by a car. It was a hit and run.
I had a really good cup of coffee with one cream, one sugar and three teardrops.
But what about them?
I know a three month old.
I know two teens.
I know a woman.
If I wake up in the morning, I'll have a really good cup of coffee with one cream, one sugar and three prayers.
One for the three month old's mother.
One for the two teens' family.
One for the woman's husband.
But what about them?
