Paradise Honours First Innocent Suffering Poem by Terence George Craddock

hard hearts
poverty interacts
power misuse...

feed upon
put down
men women...

poor defenseless
might is right mottoes
breeds injustice...

red neck home towns
stranger indifferent cities
Judas goat marks easy victims...

dog eat dog rules
brutality festers rises
feeds on innocence...

birds of like dark feathers
thugs group gather in gangs
families are easy marks...

violence hate circles
generations descendants
bound curse trap lives...

divine love mercies
can cure desperate hearts
sow redemption hopes...

over time miracles spent
love seeds gift given radiant
can rise up a broken heart...
