How many lives must be taken?
How much blood will be split?
How many tombstones must be ordered?

We have a hundred brands of bubblegum
In the shops that line our streets.
We have thirty-five flavors of potato chips
For those with waistlines to increase.

You may withdraw yourself from others
Become quiescent or lackadaisical
Disrupt sleep or appetite alter
Feel sluggish or delirious

When the echoes of your parents'altercations

back creaks as I put it up on the block,

Let free for lying locked up for being

Beacon so bright below,
Even in dark, their ship does find 
Its guiding light...
