A Gun, a Prayer, a Sigh

Misguided humanity.

A Gun, a Prayer, a Sigh

Here in the shadows

only cold winds pass.

Here in this dark passage

many have been

strangled to death.

Thuggee,

the children of Kali,

rule in these sad times.

Only death separates the

good from the bad,

and so they fill mass graves

until overflowing.

Simply to hide their misdeeds

and allow their sick

kind to breed

as monsters,

who roam the earth

in search of the blood

of innocents,

AK 47s at hand.

A very nice short tale written my friend. You create a opening for more tale and blood. AK47 can be deadly. Just don't miss. Thank you John for sharing the amazing tale.

"the children of Kali,"

Interesting choice. My friend and I have discussed the alarming increase of mental illness and violence and feel that pollution and GMO's and other such man-made effects have contributed to mankind's brain chemistry being altered. What say you?

Interesting theory but man has been destructive since Adam and Eve were thrown out of the garden. Although I don't believe in God and see our own knowledge as primitive as when we thought the earth was flat. I am reading a book which puts forward the theory that psychopathy is the reason for so many distortions in humanities behaviour.

Powerful read John! Apt given the recent tragedy in Las Vegas.

'Only death separates the good from the bad' .... it is that bleak isn't it. *sigh.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I guess so Izzy but there are more good people and good deeds than bad. Just the bad ones get all the press. Any tragedy is unwelcome. Many thanks.

Brutality....we see it every day no matter where we live. You mention the children of Kali, but look at what happened in Las Vegas yesterday. We are surrounded....innocent people killed for no reason. Evil. Powerful write. Lydi**

Indeed in my mind was Las Vegas as I am writing a short story with it at the forefront of my reasoning. Many thank yous Lydi.
