LIFE OR DARKNESS Murder Rape Assault Gang wars, child porn, prostitution, and drug abuse Marriage for money Divorce from cheating Wholesale sex on the World Wide Web Car bombs Human bombs Children screaming as they are dragged into a dirty white van Never to be seen again Holy wars Serial killers, wasting diseases, alcoholism Chain smoking through a hole in your throat Sex scandals that shake the Vatican That shakes the faith War crimes that shatter the hardest heart Date raped by a trusted friend Incest like a cancer on the lungs of society Pollution contaminating our food and water Eyes closed Wallets full Rivers choked like an old woman Murdered for $25 Killer never caught her family left in ruins Bank robbed, innocent’s dead Depression Homeless kids sold for sex. Hit and runs Drink drivers killing families and friends Puppies and kittens stuffed into bags and thrown from moving cars Extinction of an entire species on a daily basis Over population Teachers sleeping with students Teen parents Police brutality Human ignorance, a little girl missing and no one realizes until to late Senseless vandalism just for kicks Nuclear war forever hanging over our heads Serial rapist caught only to get off thanks to his high priced lawyer Free to rape again Drug deals In school At work At home Sex for sale on billboards, the only way to sell products today it seems A childhood hero dies from an overdose, not before beating his wife Their shining name goes untarnished Hospitals throw out people desperate for help Why? No insurance No one to pay the bills so the doctor can perfect his swing at the golf club for the rich Mothers and fathers murdering their children The protector becoming the predator Humanity selling their souls for fame and fortune Young children killing, just to see what it is like Reality has become distorted like the elephant man Fires that rage across a state dry and ready from the summer’s sun A man stands back watching his masterpiece as the flames whisper their thanks His eyes glazed like the woman who watches her husband as he eats his poisoned meal Terrorism that grips the world as people kill each other for land on behalf of Their God A man boards a school bus, gun in hand ready to destroy countless lives by The days end Police on the take An unknown body found in a river Name forever lost Unless it was Jane Doe A student unhappy at his expulsion returns to his school, killing anyone he Could find before the police arrive to send him to hell I could go on forever As every day presents me new pages to write But I grow weary of this work Turning my attention to the calming view In the distance I watch a flock of geese make their way across my world This world would be so perfect a true utopia If only man Were not its ruler |

"Drink drivers killing families and friends" I recently had a friend die in a car accident, and i really liked this poem. If only mankind would open thier eyes and see all these things...but you know, the question is if they did, would they care? So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart. |

Sorry to hear about your loss, I also had a friend killed many years ago in a car accident... drunk driver... To answer your question... sadly no... I really don't think many/most would do anything to change the world, that's why those that do good things are thrown onto the news... they are an abnormality compared to todays everyday goings on. It is really sad when you think about it. |

In the few days I've been on this site, I've found your words to seriously move me. You are a true observer of life. That makes me happy.... that makes you a true artist. |

Angel. I'm sorry to hear about your friend, I hope he is doing ok. trUstNooNe. I do deal with a lot of humanities negativity every day, sadly it does on many an occasion give me my words to write. Mystress May. I thank you for your comments and praise. I'm happy you all like the poem. |

this was really good but I think you should expand. Turn it into a masterpiece of prose. |

Funny you should say that. I was rereading this the other night and thought, I have so much more since I wrote it that I could expand it further. |
