The Psychopaths Among Us

Indifferently heedless for there are

no penalties that can be invoked

for nature's excesses, there is no end

to her creative genius as she indulges

in a wide array of dissonant as well 

as gentler experiments designing

offspring of all dimensions, some to

roam unfettered wreaking carnage in

their wake. These are the psychopaths

embedded in society, menacing and

vicious in their absent conscience, an

ongoing threat awaiting opportunities

to strike the defenceless. They can be

hunted down, imprisoned for society's

protection but never can they be redeemed

punishment considered by law to fully

represent a fitting response to their

crimes will never render them remorseful

and release into society guarantees their

continued predation to rape and kill.
