Joseph R, conveyancer
killed a hobo with his car:
the body’s still off Highway 9
if someone went and took the time

Paddy O, loyal to this day
use to be in the IRA:
murdered the guilty and innocent
doesn’t quite know what it meant

blood among us.

Sarah B, mother of five
only three now left alive:
it’s not her fault when they die
‘cause babies always cry and cry

Ombaku A, refugee
only wanted to be free:
yet slaughtered with his machete
his hated rival ethnicity

blood among us.

your friends and family
used to kill, some in war
or just the thrill:
perhaps in order to survive

they never felt so alive.

peaceful now, but
in their time,
beasts of the greatest crime

blood among us.

Ooooh, dark, creepy, and strangely compelling. Nicely done. :)

Yes, this does get under the skin. I done something that I can't recall doing before: I read this poem aloud. And when I got to 'blood among us' I instinctively read it slowly and emphatically. Grand job here, Spike.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
