no surprise that there is evil in the world

it shouldn't

be as surprise by now, 

to know that there

is evil

in the world,

demons

in pursuit

of those they disagree

with,

whether politically

or by

religion, or by the color

of their skin.

each

day

you wake up 

you see more of it.

in word,

in deed,

whether by

bullets or knives,

the dead

litter the landscape

where

a flag at half mast

limply flies.
