"Oy veh"

That's all he said

With full hate and disgust

Just after killing by gunshot

"Brooaam"!

Blunt, direct poem that points with brutal sound effects at the personal tragic consequences of the spiral of violence currently out of control in the world today.
Well done, manoj. I really like your terse and deadly literary strategy here.

Terse is a good word for this, and direct, and hard-hitting. It gives me the shivers because there's truth here.
