…
What is wrong
with the human design
why do we fight
why do we hate
and why not paying your taxes on time
makes molesting a child
the smaller of a crime
Why raping a woman can be forgiven
he had a bad day and he also was drunk
so they let him get away with this one
just to find her a couple of days later
dead in the back of his trunk
I know as a poet
I should write about love and flowers
and somebody’s smile
but this time my poem has turned into a rant
while this world continues
to be cruel and vile
it is hard to accept that love is only
a slowly growing plant
