Kim Rodrigues Poet Acrostic

Violence

Criminal reform - we think of those who deserve a second chance or are caught in a system where they can never make headway, or those who were imprisoned unfairly. But in today’s economy, we let loose, like a violent dam set on destruction, the worst of the worst. It should not need to reach your loved one before you open your eyes to the truth. Who is putting these people in high places to destroy our freedoms? 

VIOLENCE

Vehemently the collaboration to do good as
I see fit. To do unto
Others as no other has thought to do. Unthinkable
Love of letting criminals go. Not those
Eager to repent, not the
Nonviolent, but repeat offenders - murderers, rapists… It’s 
Criminal to put blinders on, to murder the innocent at
Every turn and to release the Joker and Riddler into Gotham.

Sara Kendrick September 22, 2022 at 3:34 AM It was on the news here this past week about a man who had raped at least two times in the past and he was freed. While out this time he raped and murdered a woman. I agree that hardened criminals need to be handled a different way and young people need help to keep them from going in the same path to become hardened. I enjoyed reading your work. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara Kim Rodrigues September 22, 2022 at 5:35 AM Thank you, Sara!

Evelyn Judy Buehler September 21, 2022 at 11:12 PM I completely agree, Kim. Thank you for sharing this powerful verse. Violence should never be just tolerated. Blessings

Joseph P. DiMino September 19, 2022 at 10:45 AM Well said, Kim; and it is not done by accident, stupidity nor good intention...it is done to collapse society, to break us financially along will our will. The people in charge have decided, the world could well get along with several billion less inhabitants. If the masses are not compliant, totally dependent on government...goodbye. More kept pure for themselves.

Michael Tor September 15, 2022 at 4:51 AM So true Kim they the ones letting them out are as bad as the criminals they let out. A favorite...

Bill Baker September 13, 2022 at 4:55 PM A meaningful message in your Acrostic poem, Kim. Thanks for sharing what needs to be said, my friend. Bill

Linda Alice Fowler September 12, 2022 at 7:15 AM As Joseph says, "...a vicious cycle...". At times, there seems to be little justice.

Joseph May September 8, 2022 at 1:37 PM They do not release those"eager to repent", Its a vicious cycle of violence

Michael Tor September 8, 2022 at 7:42 AM Well said Kim. Your Acrostic every sentencing Judge should read before sentencing. Your realization s we can all agree with. Such an enlightening piece of Poetry that anyone who has ever been a victim understands and supports. Love the theme you chose and the words to back that theme up are the truth. God bless you Dear...

Victor Buhagiar September 8, 2022 at 7:41 AM Corrupt Governance, why spend money on criminals? Happens here too.

Anselmo Boles September 8, 2022 at 7:40 AM I totally agree with you on this one Kim. It's a huge insult to us from the people running our justice and prison systems, to think we don't know the difference. Short and succinct. Hope you have a more positive day...ab
