Descendant of Cain In a Crowd of Strangers

cold-hearted punch
    came on suddenly. . .
blank expression of
sideways troll
passes by.
    passed out microphone
        with a body nearby.
  inexcusable
soul —
       soulless satisfaction. . .
second death sold
  to the wandering whorl.

Sadly these things are happening, luckily, not often. Well penned!

What a creatively penned tale, I felt its heaviness and shameful waste. It delivered, it delivered, oh yeah it did. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
