Stabbed

Stabbed

 

An unexpected and searing pain

I crumpled with an agonised scream

I was breathless with disbelief

I fell foward as others screamed also

People coming and going

A shot rang out in the distance

I am going to die here and now

These words rang in my pulsating head

I was turned on my back

Words of comfort were softly spoken

I prayed to God , Save me please.

Men in uniform and an ambulance

Sirens and I was transported away

I passed out, it was the end

but I came to and saw doctors 

You will be ok, it is mostly superficial

Do you have family, friends

I lay back and prayed again for help

It came in a blanket of peace

My mind and heart were consoled

I felt the touch of love upon me

I was not alone

Po,

Thank you for this. I had no idea that you have an involvement in this ugly business. I have lived a sheltered life or perhaps when I was younger people seldom stabbed each other, except in the back. Ha Ha

wonderfully written as always Keith. A pithy and forthright piece that does justice to the subject.
Nice one my friend

Hi Keith, So glad to hear this wasn't autobiographical! I just can't understand why teenagers especially just go out and stab their peers with very little reason except boredom. Also if you kill someone you are then in jail for a long time, so was it worth it?

Brian and Tom,

Thank you for commenting on this. This awful spate of stabbings has generated in my mind the thoughts that must pass through the mind of the victim. The sheer horror of what has happened and why me? How much longer do we have to suffer this mania?

Thank you again
Keith
