-The Unhinged


Life is a true and pure blessing

Yet, it comes with trials and tribulations

Weighing down heavy on human beings

Struggling to cope with life’s difficult situations


We share this earth with many a soul

In that we have no input , no say

We attempt to surround ourselves with the humans we like best

Try to keep certain individuals at bay


Sadly, we share our planet with some inhumane beings

 ‘The Unhinged’….the soulless who walk this earth

The ones  who view life through blackened eyes

With a black heart and soul that knows no worth


Humans who incite and kill without conscience

Deriving pleasure solely from others pain

Void of remorse, compassion, empathy

Evil like blood…. flows through their veins


The Unhinged are not visibly recognisable 

They do not look any particular way

We can only hope and pray that we never cross paths

With The Unhinged on any given day

I agree, Deb....the unhinged 'hide' among us. I sure think twice before I say or do anything these days for fear that I'll unhinge one of the 'unhinged' well said
