Analysis of Surburban Violence
Tall, trim and tanned,
he saunted into the room
exuding passion
All eyes swivelled in his direction
Momentarily sucking in
the image of Adonis
And gasping at the majesty of it all
Inwardly, his own kind
cringed and straightened up
realising he was not one of them
At the center of the room
He stopped and his legs faltered
It was only then they realised
He had been shot
Another victim
of surburban violence gone askew
His life destroyed
by a flesh seeking projectile
Victim of a childish dare
in shambles
