Born Soulless

Born Soulless

Yesterday
teens 
entered a
store
Started eating
food 
without
paying for
it
The cashier
had an argument
with them
and then
suffered a heart
attack

Instead of
calling for
help
the teens
proceeded
to Rob the
man while
he lay
helpless

What
has gone
wrong
in our
society?

Has our
youth
been born
soulless?

No empathy
No sympathy
No emotion
Just
take
and 
exploit
the situation

I think
the angels
in heaven
have
left tears
on our backs
today
to give
us
a
nudge
to speak
up
and 
recognize
something
is wrong

Do you see
this?
Do you feel
this?

or
is this cashier
so insignificant
to you
that we
as a
society
can ignore
it ?

Maybe
it is we
as a
community
who
has been
born
without
a
soul............................

Ps.  The man died and as of yet, no one has reported the identification of the teens involved.

When these kids are caught.  They will only get probation.  I promise you.  Since they were only stealing when the man confronted them, though he died in the event of a crime, it was not an inherently dangerous felony.  It is sad.  The picture of the young men involved is obvious.  People who know them have seen the coverage I am sure.  Yet nothing as of yet has been done.  They also came back to the store several times and stole more, while he lay helpless.
