Notes About The Poem
The recent reaction for the death of a CEO, of the United Healthcare insurance company, has wreaked a shocking response over social media and over the entire public community the news have reached.
The rage of anger for which revenge appearing to be a possible motive, (as the shell casings were engraved "Delay and Depose" from the shooter's bullets), shifted most people's indignation from righteous to an indignant appease.
There's a thin line it appears to be, between a seeking of justice or the appease of vengeance, by which I hope with all that is within me, that we do not succumb to the latter. We are human beings... and the sanctity of life and the right to have it should not be disposed by one man's sentencing.
WITHOUT A CONSCIENCE
WITHOUT A CONSCIENCE
Are we without godly conscience...
if I'm not mistaken,
Another human life
was tragically taken.
There's no justice in murder,
not even karma so cruel,
For a death sentence decided,
without a judge's rule.
Yes, we've been oppressed
A murderer became obsessed
by the system's"Deny, Defend, and Depose,"
Let not our anger be displaced,
our right for justice erased.
though from our afflictions a killer arose
Let not a single satisfaction
from just one man's appease,
Become a viral infection
of his vicious disease.
Without conscience he pulled a trigger,
so callously cold,
Let not this kind of evil
be the removal of our souls.
