A random act of violence, <br />An unpremeditated blow <br /> which devastates two families. <br />A difference only of degrees <br />Because a drunkard took offence <br />against someone he did not know. <br />Another of life’s tragedies <br />The victim gone beyond recall <br /> and his assailant locked away <br /> for years behind a prison wall. <br />That is the price he has to pay. <br />More victims added to the toll <br />that’s yearly claimed by alcohol. <br /> <br />27-Apr-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-more-statistic/
