The Darker Side

I love inspiring thoughts but eveyone knows life has its darker side and this poem is another that came free flowing so I figure it was a gift from God. Maybe it makes you think..not sure but since it came so freely I decided to post it.





The Man I Hated
His obituary was short
So little to report
Listings of family and friends
The usual things they say at the end
Of an ordinary man’s life
Like the name of his wife
All prattle and drivel.
 I read nothing about the evil
That consumed and tainted 
The man I knew and hated.
They never mentioned the crime
That connected his life with mine.
His death will never wipe away
The things that he did to me on that day
When I was still a child  
And he was a man.
