Why are there serial killers?

This poem is for

the curious and scared

over why there

are serial killers.
Homicide detective

Families of victims

ask “WHY?WHY?WHY?”

These killers

KILLKILLKILL

as a way to ward off

their impending death and

their terror of their human insignificance,
“I will get you before you get me!”

Killing off others are the twisted

repeated events

that only temporarily

reaffirm and reassure

their “I am invincible. I will never will die”

highly death anxious brains.

The repeated addictive intoxication

flooding-their-highly-death-denying-brains,

planning hunting tricking controlling torturing murdering dumping

destructively attempting to heroically

beat down pummel kill off and escape

their fear of their upcoming deaths and

their real live horror of the human reality of

being

vulnerably,

powerlessly,

and helplessly an

insignificant animal.
