Lunatics On the Loose

Stomach reaped wide open,
intestine and liver exposed,
Man becomes guinea pig for the slaughter,
A lunatic on the loose.

Premature deflowering even before her prime,
Eight years old girl raped,
A savage on the loose.

Able bodied men and women caged,
price tags on each part of their body,
a head for fifty,tongue for twenty
and breast for forty,
How degrading and animalistic?,
Lunatics on the loose.

Psychotic patient goes on rampage,
on a shooting spree,
twenty-five including children were murdered,
A lunatic on the loose.

Bombs were detonated at the market square,
killing hundreds and thousands,why?
for selfish reasons,painted with religion,
Lunatics on the loose.

Fights of the giants
covered with covetousness;evil scheming colored
by goodness and benevolence,
all to claim superiority,
Lunatics on the loose.

Money meant for the needy diverted
to private accounts overseas;
many are dying of hunger and malnutrition,
Lunatics on the loose.

Inciting and acting as a negative catalyst,
two countries prepare for war,
ammunition and nuclear war heads sold,
genocide committed,innocent youths and children killed,
A lunatic on the loose.


*Note #2-I will continue to be an advocate of good governance,Justice and Sincerity......
I will continue to fight,
until they do what is right
and their deeds brought to light,
This craziness should be out of sight,
I will neither slumber nor sleep but write
until things are done aright and the day becomes bright.

You are SO GOOD, a true fighter for justice in the world. I have become a bit addicted to the tv shows that depict all the greed and violence telling real life stories. It's horrendous all the evil out there in the world and so many innocents. Keep up the good fight. This is sure to do well in Deb's contest.
