Often I read of unsolved crimes
many about young women murdered
by human monsters who escape punishment
have seen too many of these cases
all over YouTube and the news
I’ve often wondered why we
have to have so much evil in this world
and so much seemingly unpunished evil
and so many soulless, heinous monsters
though I don’t believe in eternal damnation
I do believe in an afterlife reckoning
personally, I’d like that reckoning
to be the monsters experiencing the
horrors they inflicted on their victims
after which, the evil in them got deleted
if that would even be possible
if not, maybe some are just fated to be
evil souls and nothing more
just as there’s so much unfairness in this life
like babies born with terminal diseases.
