Indiscriminate Violence Poem by Hebert Logerie

Indiscriminate Violence



Our society is getting sicker,
More conservative, more liberal,
More outrageous, more difficult to handle,
And more ravaged by an elusive cancer.

Everyone is a suspect, no one is exempt,
And the system can only attempt
To cosmetically apply a bandage
To a critically wounded adage.

Our frustrations get the very best of us,
We found ourselves deep in an abysmal mess.
We are incessantly racing toward the deluge,
Where everyone is flashy, dead and huge.

The authorities cannot unilaterally
Spew out a solution to this madness.
This is a fallacious epidemic, a global malady
Deeply buried in our sub-consciousness.

Our violent mind can go beyond the imagination;
One wonders: why the surreptitious surprise,
And why anyone should be hiding behind lies,
Deceits and unfortunate crazed malefactions?

Calmness, prayer and meditation
Can improve our current situation;
However, it is forbidden to do so in our zoos,
By the so called experts and the mad gurus.

Dogs have to cease eating dogs
Many have to stop behaving like dirty frogs.
Our society needs to be more civilized,
More forthcoming and more fraternized.

Our society yearns for immediate healing,
Constant and daily blessing.
Our society needs to be more attentive,
More passionate and more receptive.
