There's Always Something
  Why do they do it?
  Commit gruesome crimes
  Though criminals never admit
  Cases still occur many times
  From burglaries and theft
  To assaults and murder
  Leaving nothing left
  But public disorder
  In front of our eyes
  We see the obscene
  Yet one must realize
  There’s more to the scene
  There’s always a reason
  Behind most of these acts
  No matter the treason
  There are always the facts
  The best place to search
  Is the person’s past
  It’s where they were forged
  Where the curse was cast
  How it all started
  Were they not raised well
  Were their Parents cold hearted
  And put them through hell
  
  Alcoholics or drug users
  Other things are possible
  Yet they robbed their child's future
  Making their life miserable
  
  Perhaps it was their home
  Was it miserable and rundown
  Living with no space to roam
  In dangerous parts of town
  Surviving as the poor
  They can’t go to college
  Nothing they can afford
  Even if it’s knowledge
  Maybe Mental sickness
  Is also a culprit
  A horrible illness
  Where one acts like a puppet
  They act before they think
  No control from the brain
  Genetics don’t interlink
  The person going insane
  But most important
  There is the motive
  Acting like a warrant
  Yet more psychoactive
  The most popular two
  Revenge and Jealousy
  Despite them not being new
  They’ve been here for centuries
  Revenge is typical
  They are seen everyday
  Yet they are miserable
  Leaving lives to decay
  
  Jealousy is worse
  It’s consumed with hate
  With a negative thirst
  Many lives meet their fate
  There are many more
  To add to the list
  Right to the core
  Nothing is missed
  Some reasons can be fixed
  Buts some others can not
  Trapped in the midst
  Waiting to wrought
  It’s quite a pity
  For this to happen
  They walked the path of misery
  In a world they’re trapped in
  If one thing changed
  So would the past
  Events rearrange
  Relationships last
  When people terrorize
  With pushing and punching
  One must realize
  There’s always something

"We all like to think that the line between good and evil is impermeable--that people who do terrible things, such as commit murder, treason, or kidnapping, are on the evil side of this line, and the rest of us could never cross it; Some people are on the good side only because situations have never coerced or seduced them to cross over." - Philip Zimbardo
