Victimless Victims

Have a need to attack

Not because they’re hurt

But rather to distract

As a strange way to

Keep their dignity intact



Away from their shame

So lost in obscurity

It doesn’t have a name

Because for some reason

They are without blame



Pointing across the street

To someone, too far away

Nor will they ever meet

Causing some kind of harm

That they will easily repeat




A universal bogeyman

They know doesn’t exist

Yet in a victim’s mind they can

If for no other reason

It brings them attention



Forgetting the question

What would Jesus do

The answer an easy one

Check if they are hungry

Then feed them some



Or see them move in skelter

Might try and help them

To seek warm shelter

Since Jesus did not teach to

Do nothing but point a finger



The takeaway from this poem

Is do not be a victimless victim

No one wants to hear you moan

An easy way to solve this is to

Turn off the TV when you get home
