Why Are Heinous Crimes Committed?

one reason
heinous
crimes
are committed

aside
from stalkers
criminally
insane

is because
mean minds
choose hate
anger violence

instead of love
compassion
sincerity
forgiveness

God gave us
freedom of choice
those who love evil
plot premeditated deliberate

murder of a child
is killing evil
is a vile choice
which shall

sentence
such souls
to a different
eternity

to ours
I promise will
pray for Isabella
for her family

for every
innocent child
in this universe
as you have asked

and also
for all poor
long suffering
animals

the plight
of our poor
abused planet
Earth...
