The Face of a Murderer

 

By Elton Camp

 

“There is no art to find the mind’s construction

in the face.”  William Shakespeare

 

The Norway shooter isn’t what I’d expect to see

As he doesn’t look like a psychotic killer to me

John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer fit the role

As insane people who are completely out of control

 

But this fellow looks like a really quite nice boy

Whom to have your daughter meet you would enjoy

But incredibly he set off a massive bomb in the city

And then killed teenagers without the slightest pity

 

It illustrates that we are living in a dangerous time

A normal looking person may be a total ball of slime

What excuse can this person possibly have to give

Why, due to him, nearly 100 people no longer live
