Crime Against Humanity

Crime Against Humanity Violence's the human disposition of last resort Check the talk, skew the walk, in the court of popular, Christ wasn't soft Lunge at his daughters killer, man tries to soothe his heart Of senseless violence, the mass destruction that is so off Unhinged sensation in the minds of feeble men Lack justification for wantonly killing our fellow human Tales of past exploit regale history And taught in class The next monster seeps, already the tear of the family sear deep Justice they seek but, the wheel of repeat has dug its teeth and save except a monumental effort to retrace our step that bright light of progress will be bloodied humanity crimes regret.

You tell it well, although its not at all.' Dracula like feinds are doing such evil What twisted them? Percieved self esteem? It will be part whether they are neighbourhood Thugs, or more world wide? They are being shunned,, From humanity deep inside.'

A very poignant poem. Peace should be reachable and teachable yet it seems intangible somehow. One day it will all be over - the just will get their reward. Take care and may God continually bless you and bring you a peace that surpasses all understanding.

There was less crime when it was punishable but the laws today just don't punish the wicked. The evil get away with their lawlessness and their victims are left with no protection. In fact often it seems the criminals are protected from their victims. Well said my friend. God Bless and thanks for visiting my page. JB

I am not sure,what officials Rate as crime now? Is Wholesale murder less a Crime than the murder of 2 Or 4? Is that a rationale Even? If so it can't be a Rational one.' The world is Eating its own vomit or many Of its government officers Are anyway.'

Is this the same as what I have been saying? It feels like it is, but with different word choices. Familiar, but not redundant. Thx also for visiting my way. Appreciate appreciating mutual appreciation. Gerald Oliver
