Red Zone

The red zone    12/8/2016

Beaten, cornered

Rejected, and wounded

Nothing is more dangerous

Than hatred and pride. 

And how many

Have been murdered

Right after they choose

As evil doubles back

vicious and cruel. 

Lashing out

No matter who it hurts

The evil humiliated

And consumed by revenge.

Willing to kill

Anyone they can

Determined to destroy

What they cannot possess.

Returning with weapons

And returning with friends

Avenging false pride

And imaginary wounds. 

Snarling in the dark

They fear the sunlight

Preferring to attack

And hit from behind. 

Burning with jealousy

They live without honor

A murderer from the beginning

And full of deceit. 

See them now

Licking their wounds

Always ready

To pounce and kill. 

Men without a conscience

And beasts without a soul

Poisoned from birth

In a world gone insane. 

Cursed from the start

And lost in the end

Burning with hatred

For the living

And the dead. 

Now is the time

To watch there every move

Awake in the night

And aware in the day.  

Over your shoulder

And behind every corner

The evil of men

With no way out.

Come quickly

And hasten the day

All of them gone

In the blink of an eye.
