A Slew Of Violence Poem by Hebert Logerie

It exists, without a doubt, a slew of violence in our society.
The cops, who are supposed to enforce the laws,
Are committing countless abuses and atrocities. What a pity!
It is apparent that we are embedded in deep flaws,
However, the violence must stop. We are tired
Of the unnecessary bloodsheds. Enough is enough.
We are all parts of the problems. It is tough
To accept the truth. We have a slew of violence in our head,
In our thoughts, in our dreams, and in our way of living.
It is hard to admit that we are living in a violent society.
We play and fight violently. We are always preparing
For wars, to fight the enemies, the devils of the sea,
The strangers in our mind, and the aliens of nowhere.
At times, we are our own enemies. We have created
The elements of fear in our psychic haven, and unconsciousness.
We have seen too much violence. We are tired and exhausted
Of this terrible environment of selfishness, lawlessness,
Intolerance, discrimination, hate, cruelty and terror.
This world is infested of sadness; we are conquered by fear,
And uneasiness. We all can sense or feel the horror,
Which is ruining our future. We are breathing the contaminated air
Of violence and oppression. We need to stop right here, right there,
Right now, at this very moment. We need to stop the flow of sorrow,
We need to dream, and be inspired of a more amicable tomorrow.
Brothers and sisters must stop fighting each other, husband and wife
Must stop destroying each other. We all yearn for and need a better life:
Follow the rules of a better living, the rules with more conciliatory terms
Of better communicating and understanding each other and our environment.
Let's practice the art of loving, and stop spreading the noxious germs
Of hate. For once, let's do our best to stop this violent disenchantment.
