My YouTube page is full of videos of dead women
young women murdered by evil, soulless men
my heart breaks for all these young women
who were often happy in their photos enjoying life
before they were brutally robbed of their precious lives
because all these women being murdered
outrages and saddens me so much
I’ll probably write a hundred more poems about it
I’ll never stop wondering why we have to have
rampant, unrestrained evil in this passing existence
and why young women in nearly incalculable numbers
have to have their lives ended by bloodthirsty monsters
instead of lives free from the horrors inflicted upon them
and I also often wonder hundreds of times or more
where’s the God of love in all of this?
