Knife Crime

Flick knives and fist fights,

It's sometimes murder here on nights.

One arrested, one accused,

Something to fill out the boring evening news.

Police lines, grieving wives,

Those with courage fight and lose their lives,

To big men with a little blade,

Someone lied and told them: in this cruel way men are made

Precise and to the point.

@4181jay thanks loads!

Awesome. Can I suggest choosing a different title though? The current one seems a little glib for the poem.

It's your poem, criticism is a gift :)

Yeah, I just see it as fairly apt given 2 knife murders in short succession here recently
