death's own personal support

man's so destructive ways

sensationalized media blitz

kids killing kids

verses

parents slaughtered

in the cross fire of family dispute

what would have been harmless

family quarreling in decades passed

is now a multi crime scene in the

family living room

what is wrong with this picture

and what lays to root behind such

senseless slaughter

poorly reared children

the break down in the family unit

or ostrisation across a broad base

of young, overly enraged America

true neglect perhaps of the so necessary

emotional feeding of young souls

our youth being looked after by too much

television and violent music

all seem like such trivially common

factors

as Television and violence have watched

over more than just one generation now

we call these kids the 'X' generation

why?

because they are the offspring of

X baby boomers

X hippies

X hoods and thugs

X hookers and cons

X yuppies and

X what ever

exulting totalitarism

who've lost their initial

focus of what the soul deems

as self well and good

is well and good

yet somewhere on the way

to a higher understanding

the ever darkening too human side

manages to slip away from so many

of its souls and subsequently

the new scarier era of before taboo

murdering was born

the friends and family killers

and all their dark precocious planning

God save our disconnected children

and the concerned parents who lost them

long ago

and didn't even know it

until it was far too late

once the trigger had been pulled...........
