Two evil boys aged just ten

This is a poem about the murder of James Bulger, I am in no way glorifying it and the reason for this poem is because I feel the crime changed how we saw the world

Two evil boys aged just ten

Were acting more like twisted men

Thought what they did was fine

Blood as red as wine

Intent on murdering

Brutal and disturbing

that disgusting heinous crime 

The victim that was in question

Aged just two and eleven months

Suffered more than cuts and bruises

And had many bumps

They stole him from his mummy

Just 35 months

since in her tummy

Those disgusting evil boys

They walked him round Liverpool

Abusing him and being cruel

From the canal they dropped him on his head

How could he know he’d rather be dead

They tortured him sexually

He must have shown perplexedly 

These evil boys what did they know

About their actions, his death was slow

There final act was beating him

So mercilessly  until the fin

Then making it seem an accident

They lie his body on the track

Waiting for the train to attack

Two days passed until the news

How could his mother ever excuse

These evil boys aged just ten

Would rot in jail until there men

They changed the way we looked at the world

Never before had something been told

We thought it was adults who posed this threat

And still they show no sign of regret!

Author's Note

Your all probably wondering why I have wrote this, well I remember this vividly when I was growing up, the whole world was shocked by what happened and it made me look at the world differently, I understood that you cant trust anyone because these evil demons are always lurking in the world, I felt fairly uncomfortable writing this so apologise if it’s the same when reading it

I like that you are tackling the subjects people avoid I do this also and its a good way of separating from the wills of conformity good job and portrays the story well no glorification which is good just getting into the mindset and storytelling I liked this

This was fairly dark and depressing. The rhyming scheme was pretty good too. nice job.
