Psycho Casualty

on the news last
night we were 
informed, 

twin three month
baby boys murdered 
lost their lives, 

violently murdered,
violently abused 
violently tortured,
violently
traumatized, 

violently,
violently, violence
sucked them 
from their lives, 

this violence
sickens us, these
violent 
acts, 

this merciless
killing, these
defenseless 
tiny little souls,
"from what hell did
you come 
return to your
putrid hole"!... 

since when is it a
right to have
children? 
...then violently
take them out... 
there is a need to
look at
screening...screening 
the nut jobs these
off the rail time
bombs 

mentality,
brutality, casualty 
from what violent
culture did 
you crawl out from
under, 

oversight your
upbringing?...is
conformity realized 
for you, in a
violent beating? 

"spontaneity your
accuser" 
there is no rescue
for this 
infantile murderer,
this time you 
your pent up anger
went too far 

I am not surprised,
our cultures so
different 
yet in many ways the
same 
it's a feeling I
have had before it's
surreal 

...in this case, you
are to blame... 

you were the adult,
left in charge 
you relieved
yourself of your
responsibility, 
you broke out of
your violent cage 

...sent two tiny
souls into
oblivion... 

we are the same in
many ways, we have
our 
code of violence,
silence, but some
cultures 
violence, is more
prevalent, more
physical and anger 
more excitable... 

fear resonates in
your children s
eyes... 
what are you
preparing them for 
...a life without
education...future
incarceration, 
is this mirrored by
yourself... 

you your decision
decides their fate,
what you 
have in-store 

you are destroying
the future...no one
will stand up 
and so it carries on


...remember you
split their heads
open... 

...two other
children living in 
your house were
removed due to
neglect, 

where ever you come
from please go back,

we do not want you
here, 

you are here to be
violent...to hurt
our children 
you have failed
them, you have
failed... 

don't blame society,
the community, 
they didn't have
your kids, 
this is your
responsibility 
this is what you
did...
