Crime!

I saw this depicted in a CSI episode a few months back, and, figured only in Vegas; but, was quickened with a feeling that it is more prevailent than we might think. I researchrd a few US cities, crime stats, and wrote a friend at interpol. She said it is happeneing all over Europe as well. Very few are being indicted, thru current state-of-the-art, forensics, but most, go unpunished, and little known. Rock.


Poem Artwork

Crime is a lot less work than most any job today

So we must keep certain, that "crime doesn't pay"

The normality of gross behavior, in our world and ways

Just like in worlds gone by;

will toppel the applecart, as evil becomes

no big thing, where violence, is

just, another, acceptable high

You think I'm taking it too far and all is okay ? 

What of the generation, that is apon us,

of sociopaths that splat heads and torsos night and day,

In the violent games that beckon them to emulate,

from, dangerous,  unending play

In cities around the globe, there's idle youth with nothing better to do,

than text each other to meet somewhere, then, violence does ensue.

They wait, in hoodies, 'til an unsuspecting person walks by; and then proceed,

as a mob,  to hurt, to maim, and sometimes, even kill.

They see no wrong in it, it's just, the way of the game,
that provides the sought after thrill.

When sought and questioned, they claim they're innocent and who can say they are not;

when so many people, all say the same:

they saw and heard, nothing,
no proof, have you got. 
 

But games and idleness are reserved for the young and the old

Most, must make their way, at some, point in time.

What will they decide?
When they've been reared, raised, and accept as normal:

Violence, that paves the way

to Crime.

A good write, violence has become a way of life. When we were young we were reared that violence was unacceptable and there was a consequence to pay. Powerful write that says it all. God bless you, Art.
