Voices Get Choked

VOICES GET CHOKED

           Abundant dirt and dust polluting civilization,
           going beyond my perception and realization.
            If envy and enmity obstruct socialization
                                 Voices get choked, but to discard and ignore.

            Torturing, molestation, rape, murder or child abuse
            lynching, violence: society cannot claim any excuse.
            Victims suffer with release of tormentors, flash as news.  
                                  Voices are burnt charred choked in anguish abhor.

          When Truth and Morals are surpassed by nasty lies brutal
          Love and emotion defeated by bitter betrayal.
          Nuisance only to be condemned, even going fatal.
              Voices don’t uproar, get choked and Heart to deplore.
