Trauma Led to Psychopathy

The man was not born a psychopath

but circumstances handled wrong

made him one.

It started when his happy-go-lucky life

was interrupted,

by the premature death of his father

and family responsibility fell on his shoulder.

He saw his relatives pull away,

fearing he would ask for help,

he saw how lack of money,

can bring humiliation and untold agony.

He vowed to be rich, by hook or crook,

he made relations with those,

who would fill his sparse coffer,

he estranged from those, who would not add

or would consume and claim.

His desire grew stronger day by day,

and keeping with it, his conscience went numb,

Satan possessed, he turned a control freak.

Now in the end stage of life,

all his possessions built by exploitation,

are standing, but relatives shun.

Health, power and relations gone,

he is confused, and in depression.

That's how trauma unresolved,

led to psychopathy, devoid of empathy

and the gift life was wasted.
