Goddam Sonnet 4

Beat quiet heart, the trouble is gone now.
Those who would thrash you to a bloody mess
Who hurt you simply because they knew how
Whose greatest joy in life was your distress
Who repaid all your kindness and concern
With a sheer sociopathic contempt -
Be quiet and calm, then reflect and learn:
How could you believe you would be exempt
From the extreme evil bestriding Earth?
People have murdered their spouses for cash,
Parents have beaten their children from birth,
How fortunate life is gone in a flash.
Give up your endless questioning and sigh
There is no answer, nor will be, to "why?"
