THERE IS NO BEAUTY WITH KNIVES (new poem)

THERE IS NO BEAUTY WITH KNIVES
There is no beauty in knives
They destroy lives
They destroy families
They destroy communities
The fire and desire
The hatred and debate
The debates must end
The actions must now be taken
Imprisonment kind of works
But that is a place where they worship evil intent
Intent on the innocent
The innocent bystander and bystanders
Going about their own business and businesses
You swing them to the left and right
Scaring innocence, innocent with fright
They try with all their might
To stop you!
But you are determined
You are strong-minded
Unwavering
Single-minded
You are unswerving
You are obsessed
Possessed
You are resolute
You want the finale
The lost lives
The injured lives
But we try and stand strong
Strong-willed
Unswerving
We try not live in fear
But we shed many tears
What is going through your minds?
Hell bent on scoring a score?
Well it will be your undone
When we have won
And you are no longer one
Your time is coming
It is just a matter of timing
When we cheer so loudly
Not proudly
Just that justice will be done
