Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

The Lunatic Fringe

As days go, this has not been one of the best

But after giving myself a good talking to

I've realized not all days are created equal
 
It's the lunatic fringe that are wreaking havoc

Ask anyone on the street and I'm certain

99.9% are peace loving folks who just want

To be left alone to live a happy and peaceful life

But these degenerate sub humans

Insist on carrying out these cowardly barbaric acts

Randomly attacking totally innocent people!

However, by reacting irrationally, we run the risk

Of becoming as radical and evil as these lunatics

Calmer heads MUST prevail

Hopefully one day in the not too distant future

These barbaric acts of cowardice will cease

They MUST cease in the name of all that is good!
