This is a Christian story.
It is also fictional,
of which I will be telling over time,
piece by piece.
It is an epic story,
of a man named Johnny Wells.
He was known to some as Johnny 'to bad' Wells.
His life left a trail,
that nobody wanted to follow,
and to the man that lived as Johnny did,
It was the way that he would have wanted it to end -
in redemption,
but let's go back,
to wear Johnny Wells had went wrong.
He was born in Miami, Florida in 1970.
His dad raised him,
the best way he knew how.
They lived in a very large housing project,
and his mother always made him go to church.
Johnny respected both of his parents,
as they were both respectable people.
What made Johnny' s life,
take a turn for the worse,
was when Johnny witnessed his father's murder.
He was thirteen years old.
Naturally, he was feeling a strong emotional pain.
He still went to church,
and he still respected his mother,
but Johnny was never quite the same.
He was not good at sports,
like every other child in his neighborhood was,
and Johnny never excelled in school.
So Johnny was left alone,
with no father figure.
He never had much to say.
Much of Johnny' s time consisted of skipping school,
and hanging out in the neighborhood park.
but it became much worse from there.
Within a short period of time,
Johnny was into selling drugs.
Johnny was only thirteen years old.
Still he had not quite made,
a name for himself yet,
until one day some guys,
were bothering him in the park.
Unfortunately, Johnny had a gun.
After killing two people,
leaving the case unsolved,
Johnny and others,
had began to call himself Johnny 'to bad'.

- Comment from author about the poem: In this fictional epic tale, there is truely a means to a sympathetic, redeeming, yet unfortunate end. Hopefully we may all learn a lesson at the end of this story. I hope it comes out how I plan it to, and hope that you all like it. Christ is our Savior. Persistence is key

Thanks for sharin' FRIEND ~ A tragic beginning ! So many jn the UK go that way ~ but our main weapon is a KNIFE not a GUN ~ but still as effective. I believe the answer is in Vocational Education ~ Training Teens for a job they love ! This earns them respect ~ gives them self-esteem and security ~ Please check my POEM HAPPINESS and my new FUSION ~ LOVE & ROMANCE ! Thanks BRIAN
