What fuels the carnage mind of a psychopaths,
I'm distraught about how they can do so much harm,
But feel no remorse.
They have no empathy,
Only fueled by they're primitive desires.
That would be a brief insufficient view,
Look deeper..
deeper into they're minds.
Dahmer disconnected from society,
Alone and starved for affection.
Turned to his soul and snapped.
But though his actions,
You see how he showed his empathy, his remorse.
Feeding off of his "beloveds"
To preserve them within himself.
Fish with his dastardly ways,
Seemed so different yet is so much the same.
Disconnected within his home,
No mother,
No father,
Only a nun who fueled his masochistic behavior.
Living in the shoes that were created for him,
Living the life of a primal human.

Wow, a totally different subject to wonder about. I like how you have tried to delve into something to find out "why."
Thanks so much for entering.
