The Evening Whirl: St. Louis’ Crime Chime – Weekly Whirlwind of Woes: Two Brothers Lost: A Tale of Family and Fate
Two Brothers Lost: A St. Louis Tale
In St. Louis town, where the streets run wide,
Two brothers fell, and the city cried.
On Hamilton Avenue, just past noon,
A family fight turned tragic too soon.
Victor, thirty-five, met his end,
Shot in the home where the fight began.
Jeramie, his brother, forty years old,
Lay in a field, his story told.
A heated clash, tempers high,
Shots were fired, and both would die.
Jeramie struck first, his brother fell,
Then came more shots, a tale to tell.
A woman inside, caught in the storm,
Defended herself to keep from harm.
Pulled the trigger, her life to save,
But now two brothers rest in their graves.
St. Louis shootings, a sorrowful tune,
Crime in Missouri, a shadowed moon.
Killings in the Lou, it’s a heavy load,
Breaking hearts on every road.
Let this story linger, a lesson clear,
Choose peace over anger, hold loved ones near.
For two lives lost, the pain runs deep,
And the city prays as the families weep.
