Victim of a Premature Death
Parents absent from the act,
Who expect their children...
To reflect their best efforts yet.
Teach what they get!
Whether it is disrespect,
Or prisons visits.
A return on their investments,
Should not upset.
Or a knock on the door,
From a policeman who regrets...
To announce a child,
Has become victim of a premature death.
