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

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 just 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
