You skilfully convey this horrific event in your free verse with shuddering impact! The fourth stanza is particularly powerful with the ground weeping bloody tears and the victim lapsing into unconsciousness and death as the car moves away. Well done and good luck! Debbie

This is really sad, I could feel her longing to help people in need and then to have this so cruelly taken advantage of is disgusting. A well written, emotive piece. I enjoyed reading it.

passed --> past

A grim write about rape (presumably) and murder to support the statement that it is very foolish to put yourself in dangerous positions even if you are doing it out of the kindness of your heart.

Your poem is quite powerful and written in well-rhymed aabb quatrains. The final line stands out because it is shorter - justifiably since it is the punchine and the explanation of the title.

Good luck in the contest. I have a theory that poems that are on the dark side don't usually attract voters.
