violence

chasing headlights down december

back roads, not yet 6:30 and
already full dark

half-moon and sleeping houses

this man with

a mouthful of poison

wants to show you how easy it is to

hurt you
then wants you to beg for more

absolute zero when the knife goes in

small wooden cross on the

living room wall
 

cop pulls the trigger and

the child is dead and how far do you
have to look to find someone
laughing?

for how much longer will we

allow ourselves to
be a nation of assholes?

been a long

fucking time already
