....Morbid Fascination Poem by NikMorgan ...

I’ve a macabre curiosity
I’m the ghoul at the scene of the crime
I stand and stare
Spellbound for a time

Where disaster strikes
I’ll be a face in the crowd
Part of me feels pity
But I can’t help feeling proud

I feast on gory details
To get a good look I strain
Taking cold comfort
From someone else’s pain

I spend my days chasing ambulances
Watching car crash TV
Invading the personal tragedy of others
Just glad it was not me
