Shock Proof

There are demons at my bedside
The devil at my door
But nothing ever shocks me
Anymore

I've seen the most disgusting human behavior
Even from ones I called mine
Growing up with those animals
I saw evil in its prime

Murderers on my TV
Pedophilia in my news
Nauseating acts
That no one could excuse

Stabbings
Shootings
Robberies
Lootings

Victims of domestic violence
By people who onced cared
Children and the eldery
Nobody is spared

Mutilations
Degradations
Strangulations
Asphyxiations

Violated Jane Does
Kids constantly abducted
Crimes recorded for the internet
Laws always obstructed

Pornographic atrocities
So very hardcore
But nothing ever shocks me
Anymore

Wow...so sad, but, in a sick way, so true. I really like this poem a lot. There are some disgusting people in the world...too many horrible things happen. WONDERFUL poem.

i really like the intensity and honesty of this poem. you just wrote how it is, none of that "fluffy-sugar-coated" crap. im definitely giving you credit for that. this whole poem is just so strong. i read it about 13 times before i commented. its just..the cold raw truth. im glad that you wrote this. kind of smacked me in the face, saying WAKE UP!! ive been in a dream like state lately. but great job, this is really great. keep up the great work.

This poem is so intense and

feelings in some of the best words.
Amazing job.

Great poem It held me captive from beginning to end..and sadly..it's true..good job.

I really enjoyed reading this poem, but you have a couple of fluency issues. In the last line of the first stanza it would flow better if you added the word not before "anymore." Do that with the last stanza too. Then the first line of the second stanza is much too long; it disrupts the flow completely. I would delete the words "the, most, and human." I would also put commas after each one word line in the forth and fifth stanzas because it provides more emphasis instead of just coming off as a list of words. These are just suggestions that I would think would improve your poem; you don't have to take them if you don't want to.

Comment by sohailis: Dec 10, 2009 2:01 am

That was both beautiful, and the truth which is quite ugly. Great poem.

Heart felt and soul shaking
two thumbs up!

Comment by Elizajh: Feb 7, 2010 6:56 pm

Unfortunately this is true, and i really hate that this is what our world has come to. If "evolving" means that humans stoop down to hurt each other and risk children for some sick pleasure then please take us back to the middle ages. It's disgusting. I'm really glad you wrote this because you made a brilliant point.
