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)
