Stalking the Streets

Stalking the streets

Looking for prey

Creeping around

With nothing to say

Leave no living

Hunting packs

Silent and swift

Don’t turn your backs

Vicious attacks

Where anything goes

Covert and quick

Yet everyone knows

All this evil

Seen by the world

Humanity is beaten

Tangled and twirled

In all the darkness

Light has to thrive

Love is still living

Breathing -- alive

The evil inside

Churns up their life

So much pain

Like a twisted knife

The heart keeps on

Love still survives

Hearts not yet cold

Emotions alive

Taking a life

Is the ultimate theft

You’ve taken it all

There’s nothing left

And then you write home

It’s just your duty

Serving your country

A dead inner beauty

Love must be blind

Or it would hide its face

Scared and ashamed

Of the human race
