The Darkest Deed
written by: Anne G
@TheInkTruth
The darkest deed
our hearts did bleed
A child’s life
snuffed in the night
Innocence dead
the monster fed
Unquenchable urge
sadistic purge
No end in sight
society’s plight
The predator preys
humanity frayed
Danger lurks near
trust trumps fear
Warnings ignored
cynical lore
Evil intent
horizon event
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Inspired by reality …
The Darkest Deed – the murder of an innocent child by the least likely suspect, a family member and the deadliest of emotions, envy.

Why write? I write because I am: Driven to distraction by the inequities of the society in which we live. Motivated by cruelty, abuse, ignorance and indifference. My intention: To poke, prod and provoke!
