Willing Victims Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When one is accustomed to starting fires...
They should expect to get burned.
Eventually!

A sickness to ignite a flame that rages...
Soon will become uncontrollable.
Leaving one who glorifies in destruction...
To denounce activities,
Of another...
Who is as equally demented!
Yet,
Also given power to devour common sense.

'Spare the rod and spoil the child.'

I agree!
But these are privileged kids.
Who have been raised to gather praise,
For their craze!
And we have been willing victims,
Of their sins allowed and followed.
Assuming those who lead...
Are competent.
And not those of dormant insanity!

In other words...
Those who 'have' and acquired their positions.
May be those inflicted with sick ambitions!
