Pen cannot put to paper
All the damage they have done
Against Society at large.
And, like mice - how they run!
Perhaps that's why we catch so few.
They want no audience,
But this I know - they'll never rue
Their deeds, with no conscience.
See how their fevered minds have wrought
Such havoc in the towns;
And maybe in the villages, the hamlets (and the downs).
Nothing is sacred to their hands.
All must in conflict break,
Leaving nought but destruction,
To cry - For Pity's Sake!" Albert Kirkman, (aged 84 years)
