AMERICAN VIOLENCE
by Bill Kochman
11-27-2016
Violence in the church,
Violence on the street,
Kids killed in schools,
Even cops on the beat.
So much hate and anger,
Like we just never saw,
People so on the edge,
Nerves are just so raw.
So much dissatisfaction,
It’s all around we see,
Needs to change quickly,
Or we may cease to be.
This poem is powerful.
