Victims

This world of ours is not always a good place behind closed doors so many terrible things occur. Hidden from plain sight some suffer endless torture by the very ones who should love them the most. Terrible things done sometimes in loves name horrific beatings handed out, just for the sake of control. Murders committed simply because one person will not share killing so no-one else can take their supposed loved one away. Children living in fear beaten and starved flinching at loud voices creeping round like little mice hoping praying they are not noticed. Gangs that bully and terrorise neighbourhoods while selling drugs slashing up rival gangs purely for more territory to increase their strangle hold to continue their evil crimes. Young girls and boys sold into sexual slavery, victims each and everyone and all for profit. War torn countries full of horrendous abuse, dead and injured cast aside like trash. Yet for each who deals out these horrible crimes once they were different, once they were loved. Can all be explained away by the fact that they were taught by those that reared them in these horrific circumstances? Or is it true that some were born monsters who enjoy other's pain and grief? Practicing their craft on helpless victims as they grow up pulling wings of birds slicing and dicing up beloved pets. Always attacking the weak and helpless. Plain bullies that carry out their crimes in secret afraid to face those of strength. One never really knows what goes on behind those closed doors. Yet when a victim finally snaps and turns the tables oft times they are the ones our systems punish and lock away behind bars while their tormentor is left free to continue their rampage. Who I ask is the beast? Mankind surely deserves this name not animals.
