Love Poem: When Love Grows Cold

When Love Grows Cold

Tempers always flare,
Few care.

Lawlessness bares
Indifferent stares.

Compassion leaves,
Lying heaves.

Crime explodes;
Paves broken roads.

Self becomes king
Carnality springs.

Death is courted,
No grace recorded.

Joy is distant
Revenge is instant.

The unthinkable breeds
More despicable deeds.

Life’s not regarded,
Deliberately discarded.

Rage finds a haven
Peace; a cave in.

Steep is the spiral
Contagious and viral.

Evil: unsatisfied 
Despair amplified.

Indifference takes hovers
And loving is over.
