Gacy, Dahmer, Starkweather
Alcala, Gein and Berkowitz
Names alive, infamous
Predators, slayers
Hunters of the weak
Of the vulnerable or innocent
In a distance of history
Time will erode the sins
Causing a stain
Upon our tapestry
Turn to grey, to fade
Some will reexamine
Erasing diligently
Lives gone astray
From circumstance
Or malicious lives
Lived relentlessly
They had no appreciation
No perception
Of right and wrong
Gave no pretense of morals
A violent flood
Leaving lost lives
Slain families
Hopes destroyed
And normal is life gone
Lives frozen in cold blood
As society watched in horror
Only thereafter made to see
Without an ability to feel
Without the ability to recover
Without any chance to heal
Crimson on a white veil
Torn, and faded
