Sense Sonnet - Acher

Parents Kill

It seems like anytime they got
Together for a length of time,
My Mom and Dad just up and fought.
Since being born, I'd watched this crime.
Now, I'm just about 1 year old,
Caught in the middle of their fight.
Dad's screaming at Mom, who's got hold
Of me in one arm, and held tight
In her other hand is a knife.
She stabs Dad with it fatally;
And Dad shoots Mom, snuffing her life.
Shot through the leg, an orphan be.

Stuff happens to a kid that's bad,
When caught between mad Mom and Dad.
