Replying to a comment on:

Turmoil (Free verse) by ThoughtfulSoul

Violence conquers over all Thoughts of suicide race in many minds No one feels for the ones lost in the flow of society Someone has been mugged Someone has been killed Someone has been raped Do you care? Do I care? Does anyone care? We are together, but yet we are all on our own The darkness calls through use of wind in the night like a savior coming to heal our old wounds We know of each other, but do we know each other For some death is a release from what has been a painful existence It's like irony for the soul To think that in a world filled with so many of the same species that small things keep us far away from each other To the people feeling all alone do know that there is so many like you All the killing All the rape All the hatred We must love chaos cause it surrounds us And we flock to it like birds to the pieces of bread on the floor

First off let me say I liked this, the message was sincere and its nice to see a heartfelt rather than academic way of writing about what you did.
However it does read more like a newspaper column than a poem, the last 3 lines have no happily ever after and you have achieved what you set out to do making me reflect on the flaws of human nature. **********8********
