Killing Spree

In the worst of times people lose their faith, spewing words of hate through frustrations, Turning to crimes of passion, killing decent individuals for insignificant reasons, or committig acts of treason, The presure is not an excuse to set demons loose, The heinous acts herald that the world is in despair, and people in power need to show that they care, Families are being fragmented by senseles acts, Police Forces are being disseminated by officials' pacts, The criminals are roaming free causing all sorts of melees, The downtrodden are running a muck, Citizens are clingin to survival in the midst of chaos, Yet, who can they trust? when their lives have become an open season for ammunition, Killing Sprees have gone from a rarity to everyday occurrences, The lack of hope has sent a society spiraling into a deep, dark abyss......

Yes, when we turn on news from a large city about sixty miles away there is always news about some terrible crime or murder everyday..The change needs to come about in people's hearts and start in the home then we will have a change in our nation..I was delighted that you stopped by my work..Sara

As family units fall apart and the economy continues to weaken, we are bound to see even more of these awful killing sprees, Margaret. People are struggling to find hope and even our faith is challenged. Who knows what will happen next? A powerful statement about society's disintigration in this poem. Wish I could disagree with these observations, but I can't. Carolyn
