Ladies First
March 7, 2014-Breaking News- a
17 year old boy
Killed his mother, then shot
his father, but
Daddio lived
Lousy job, son, you never
could get things all
the way right
Doesn’t matter who’s to blame
Fook cause and effect
Civilized people don’t strike
back
No matter how much mental
cruelty
is crammed down their throats
-or-
Were the parents totally
innocent
and the devil made a
threesome in
the bed that made their son?
Who creates monsters?
Nature? Nurture?
The debates rage on
One thing for sure is “Happy”
boys don’t
Bring Uzis to school
“Happy” boys don’t shoot
senators on
a stump
“Happy” boys don’t shoot
others in theatres
As an observer, I am just wondering
Who’s pissing these “boys”
off?
And what can be done about
it?
We have DEA to fight drug
trafficking
But tell me folks, on some
level don’t
we all know, mental illness
makes people
abuse drugs, self-medicate
and
the rage is a lethal
cocktail?
Why are we not treating the
wounds
before they turn gangrenous?
Why are we not trying to help
people
who are in dire pain?
No money in that, eh?
Are we so entranced with the
toys and
playgrounds of capitalism,
we’d rather
look the other way than see
other souls
gutted and burned to the
ground?
