Poignant Tanveer, but controversial also…

Perhaps adding this I would like this poem better:
(Something Tells me) It’s good they died!
I’m not a published author nor anyone important, but the poem would appeal more to me this way. You can erase this message if you think it’s wrong. Just adding the “(Something tells me)”, takes away a bit of the roughness(?)

I know, I don’t mean to imply I know more, and as I said I am no one to correct. But for me, this is how I perceived the poem: (Erase it if you don’t agree)
(Something Tells Me) It may have been good that they died
It may have been good, that they died—–
If they would have lived, what would they have seen?
—burning hunger?
—rising poverty?
—homicide everywhere?
–putrefying dead bodies?
dignity and pride being disgraced?
It may have been good that they died!
If, having lived, what would they have seen?
Immoral and callous conduct
helplessness and despair
inhumanity, hurting humanity
corruption and agitating?
Blessed, not seeing, this
It may have been good, they died
If, having lived, what would they have seen?

I don’t know Tanveer, maybe I did wrong in changing the verbs, the one who wrote it might not like this…
blessings for all
