Unending Violence
On the streets
Of the city
Ceaseless, senseless violence
Needless bloodshed
Bodies broken
Pain inflicted
Abuse and rape
Lives destroyed
Affecting the lives
Of victims and perpetrators
Families devastated
Mother’s mourning
Father’s grieving
Son’s lost
Daughter’s never returning.
Humanity found wanting
A barren waste
Devoid of love
From where comes hope?
