Weston Gregory Poet Dramatic Monologue

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.

Judy Ball August 31, 2021 at 3:27 AM 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.
