From Bad To Worse
Why are serial killers so fascinating?
Stories about them are proliferating
Is it that our inner nature is macabre?
We are intrigued by the actions of a mob,
Traffic slows for a look at an accident
Our attention is drawn to an incident,
We must crave excitement in our lives
Learning people get carved up with knives,
Anything that captivates our attention,
Even some things I dare not mention.
We are intrigued by bad to the worse,
Yes, even stopping to stare at a hearse.
