Cancerous Violence
Mindful Poetry

Cancerous violence wracks American society Numerous mass shootings, daily occurrences When people die, so does society’s freedoms Causations, drugs, violent anger, psychopaths Society’s inequalities, anger now boiling over.
People who feel devoid of opportunities Their frustrations are increasing every day Believe they never can have upward mobility Sentenced to lives of bitter poverty and despair In childhood provided with limited educations.
Uneven wealth and income distribution Rich get richer, poor fall farther behind Violence continues increasing over time As long as underclasses fall farther behind Inner frustrations, breeders of outer violence.
Society must quit destroying its basic freedoms Need equitable distribution of income and wealth And more people need to have viable opportunities, Cancerous violence, society’s daily destructive force.
