Suffer the Consequences – A Tanka

With a tender touch

I tried to quiet your tears

You pushed me away

This was of my own doing

Now it is me who suffers

A blinding rage sparked

When intemperance takes hold

Leaving families scarred

Physical and mental pain

The ones you love made victims

Another one gone

A mother’s tears for her son

Shot dead in the night
