Too Many Good People Get Murdered in This World

Too many good people get murdered in this world
I see this all the time in true crime shows and the news
for example, a good wife or a good husband
murdered by their evil spouse for insurance money
or for the custody of their children
a young woman randomly raped and murdered
an innocent, good child caught in a crossfire of
a drive by shooting accidentally shot dead
all good people murdered, all good people dead
and I cannot understand why in this world
a presumably loving God allows this to happen.

A High Spiritual Being

I once met a woman who told me
what happened when her father died
she said at his funeral she felt
what she said was his spirit’s energy
flooding the entire funeral parlor
similar to how a guru’s spiritual energy
floods an entire ashram room and more
upon hearing her account of her father
I surmised he must have been a high
spiritual being, evident in life or not.
