The New Hero....(A Parody) Poem by RIC BASTASA

Killing is a way
to telling that society has
exceeded the limits of
tolerance

it is an invitation too
to kill the killer

but, somehow, no one has
picked the
challenge yet

the non-violent has grieved
buried the victims
and prayed for peace
released the doves to the sky
instigating once more
the killer
to kill some more until it gets
bored
with its
dastardly act.

there is a time for boredom too
killing included

the good man has not even tried
killing a fly
or a mosquito

so what's next killer?
we have a crowd for you.
Feast on them
We will count the dead and buy the coffins
we will sing the funeral songs
praise the heavens
you have served as the best terminator
of other people's suffering.

good job, Keep going.
You are a hero.
