Kick and Scream

Hate is awarded by exposure. Love is punished by judgment. Why does society gravitate toward the negative? Darkened rooms and lit screens full of ***** and visions of bloody scenes. Everyone loves violence, With wide eyes they watch with gleeful astonishment. Waiting for the kill shot; Taking bets on who the victor will be. It's not society, I'll tell you that. As far as I can see, the only victors are gun runners and pimps. They're the ones making all the capital- gains off you and your family's remains- because you let them, because it's what you asked for. blood, money, and sex. Drugs and rock and roll, You sold your soul. Now, your asking for... a rebate? Waiting in line for a free dinner plate. The Devil has his hands around your ankle and he keeps tuggin. Why don't you kick and scream- and start runnin? Because they'll say you're soft? You're nothing but a frog warming up in a pot. Too ignorant to know that those flames are hot! But I'm telling you know those are flames beneath you... Is the sinner inside you. You need to jump out before your death meets you. -James Kelley 2010©
