Binge of Revenge

Binge of Revenge

Woke up this morning and had to
hear about some more sad killings.

According to the news must be a binge
Of many more people who want revenge
For bad things that to them were done
Police killed another poor innocent son.

Now parents and relatives cry and cry
Is no good reason why they had to die
Pulled over for tail light being burned out
Was that what it really had been about?

Maybe might be anxiety or outright fear
Precious person so dear is no longer here
Whatever they did has gone by and past
Soul from sad earth is finally free at last.

it breaks my heart how so many innocent people are leaving this world at the hands of monsters. Whether foreign or homegrown. It's all the same to me. There is no telling if it will stop. As things are going to get worse from here. Since the Bible speaks of end times being massively wicked and frightening.
