Shackled By Hate

He stands out in a horde
shackled by deep hate, 
wizened, yet venom in full store
elicits a man’s devilish state.
 
His mordacious act make’s heart chill
when  trifle things that least matter
provoke's him to discharge a cartridge to nil 
a Life that loiter's in a pub gets the batter.

Note: This poem is about a hate crime, where a middle aged kills an young man
in a public place.
