This poem hits home. So sad to see what's happening and you've captured it well. Also managing to incorporate the list of words for the contest. I'm glad your poem was so well received.

Graphic is certainly the key word in your poem and choice of photograph to accompany it. Living in the United States of Anger has become a matter of being lucky to dodge death. Your poem is emphatic with outrage at what has happened to society.

There is a lot of stark truth here and love and concern for our beloved country. It is a sad commentary on humanity when life and living comes down to such inhumanity.

I hear what you are saying. Sometimes the world seems full of hate and senseless violence. You do have to wonder where it will all end.

There is a typo in the following:
graphic violence, worse then I've ever seen - it should be '... THAN I've ever seen'

Thanks for a thought-provoking poem and good luck in the contest.

Oh my goodness, this is so shocking. Is this what happens in America these days? I can't believe it. I hope they find the culprits. A poignant poem about the tragedy on the streets, love Dolly x

    Sadly, this is the state of affairs in this country, at least in the larger cities. Thanks so much for reviewing. :)

A very powerful piece filled with hard truths. I pray for this country every day. The violence is scary and shouldn't be a political issue. It is. Humanity issue. Thanks for sharing

Great job. You managed to get all those words in this poem and make sense out of what you say.
It is a terrible disgrace that we suffer in the world today. No one should have a blind eye to all this violence. We need to make the change, demand the change, and assert ourselves to the politicians who can offer the change.
Violence is not an option.
Great write. Lots of luck in the contest.
