Guilt Will Torment Him

THIS IS A FICTIONAL POEM.

A teen did something that was bad.

He got angry and he shot his dad.

His dad grounded him because he'd been drinking.

He was intoxicated and he wasn't clearly thinking.

He's going to be tried as an adult even though he's sixteen.

But he deserves it because what he did was evil and mean.

He feels guilt and remorse but that can't bring his father back.
If his dad hadn't given him the rifle, he couldn't have made the attack.

He asks God to forgive him when he prays.

Guilt will torment him for all of his days.
