Screaming-again.

Next doors-again.

No sleep for me-again.

Coppers arrive,do nothing and go-again.

Man and wife thing-again.

Screaming-again.

Ambulance men arrive-again.

Sadly,after tonight,they won't ever need to come back-again.

On second thoughts, I agree with Cynthia about the
power of the content. It was the subject of culpability
that caused my first comment. People can be such
fools to themselves and today's society isn't geared
towards taking individual responsibility.

Aided & abetted by feminism and a lack of understanding
of human nature, there is now a concept that domestic
disputes, the old term for marital fall-outs, are somehow
the responsibility of the police and not the participants
and the courts to whom neither party will to go for help
despite proper advice and offers of assistance with the process. It is the most dispiriting experience to spend
much time playing the peacemaker between husband and
wife (partners?) only to be left in little doubt it's a just a
misunderstanding and things will be better (usually the woman's view) and will the police just leave. Grown-up
does not necessarily equate with adult when common
sense so often seems absent in such relationships and
absenting oneself from potential harm seems to equate
to be an admission of personal failure...hardly a way of preventing a further deterioration in a relationship,
with the chance of worse to come. Tragedy is
arguably the result of a lack of self-care and foresight in those who want NOT to believe in what COULD happen.
Sad but often true...with the police picking up the
pieces and undeserved brickbats for perceived "failure".
