Abuse
ASSAULT
BRUTALITY
UGLY
SAVAGE
EVIL
Why are there abusers?
Why do some people abuse?
Are they born without feelings?
So have yet to learn how others feel.
How can they ever learn?
If, from birth, they knew
If you caused pain to others
You should feel pain too
Is it a dreadful illness?
That is a genetic error,
Or are they just evil
Born to inject terror.
Terror into the innocent
And those that are naive
Harming the infirm and aged
It's impossible to conceive.
What gratification,
Or satisfaction
Is gained
From abusing others
And causing unnecessary pain.
They do not have a conscience,
About the despicable things they do
They all go on living
Just like ordinary people do
You would not notice them,
If you see them at the shops
They look like the rest of us
That's why this crime never stops.
They strike without warning,
When their prey is unaware
They come out of the darkness
Without a thought or care
Spoiling the future of the victim for life
With memories of the ordeal
Causing fear, anxiety, and strife
How can we stop this problem that we face?
And rid abusers.
From the Human Race
