Pessimist or Realist.

rhyming quatrains.

Pessimist or realist.

 

She died alone and terrified.

Just another homicide.

Victim of a random attack

Committed by some maniac.

 

There’s little chance he will be caught.

Although the police will do their best.

He sees killing as a sport.

The ultimate the final test.

 

He pits himself against the rest .

Merely because it suits him to.

Although he’s open to arrest.

He leaves behind no single clue.

 

 

Each life he takes adds to his score.

But leaves him still unsatisfied.

He always seeks to add some more.

To those who have already died.

 

 

He will confess eventually.

Because he cannot brag or boast

He yearns for the publicity.

Because he claimed to kill the most.

 

His twisted mind can justify

The slaughter of the innocents.

And we are left to wonder why.

He chose to follow precedents.

 

Laid down by killers in the past.

Who also sought publicity

Transient fame that cannot last.

For which they paid the penalty.

 

When executed by the state.

Their fame dies down immediately.

And yet I do not hesitate.

There will be more undoubtedly.
