The killer next door. You & I!
Awe hijacks the TV sets and the radio antennas tremble with shouts of pundits devouring the new breaking story. Another one of us, a human, has committed a horrible crime. As soon as the story reaches us, via experts, the evil doer was dehumanized. “A random act carried out by a monster”. The atrocity repeats over and over again, spanning across decades and centuries. Yet, it's still random, they absurdly argue. A random act occurring weekly. And the gullible masses buy it even though it costs a lot of reason.
Is the monster resurrecting so often? Jesus! A monster!?
All has been done in centuries is only to gain from the fear via cheap shock value. If a solution would be found, which is very attainable, the role of government and society rules would self destruct since we wouldn't fear one another any longer. But the pressure of society corroborated with the daily dose of fear has created the bylaws of atrocity. The pundits reason aberrantly that they are random acts. Well, fuckers, it's a pandemic. It reached our street and that knock on the door is not for trick or treat.
It's not at the door, it's dad's steps on the stairs… he made a noise from his hand and mommy is all red over her face. She fell on the floor like a brick ans I do not understand why one of her eyes is smiling at me while seeping down on the window's glass. Now, daddy takes me in his arms, kisses me, tells me that he loves me then he puts something cold against my head. Daddy, I'm not cold! She said before the deafening noise of the unloading revolver is followed by the eternal silence on 1245 W. 5th St., corner with Random Hope Ave.
Our morals and beliefs fall on us like an atomic bomb every passing minute of the day. More and more of us either collapse or snap before collapsing. They are not an unfortunate accident. They are a systematic result of an oppressive environment; our society!
The comfort served up by self denial, disassociating ourselves with gruesome acts that we are capable of doing, makes us prone to achieve them.
