heart beats in rage

fists clenched

teeth grate

just one more filthy portion

to life's wretched plate

gagging as I swallow

crying as it stings

wondering why god makes people

when they are such evil things

not everyone is evil

but not enough of them are good

to stop the wicked evil doers

like all good people should

and like a smaller child

with his father's sword

I'm struggling to fill the footsteps

in this maddening growing war

" and I dream of her always,
even when I don't dream.
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream."

'Christmas in Prison' John Prine

I commiserate with you, sometimes it's too frustrating to see so much evil and not "enough good men to stop wicked evil doers"

But everyone can, in one's own small way, stop what evil we meet in our day to day lives the best we can.

And one way too, is like you, make people aware through poems like this. Each seed you plant who knows will grow into a strong tree (of determination and spreading the will to contradict and confront evil).
