Beneath bones & broken backs
Catastrophic criminals and crooks
Dealing deadly, dreadful drugs
Eating endless elements of
Fear & feasting on failures and flaws
Giving great girls greater
Hate & horrific hearts
Individual to incomplete and invisible

Joking, jabbing, jumping
Kid to kid, killing kindness
Leading on lies, lisping
Meaningless mayhem & more
Nonsense nearing a numb nothing

Overly open oppositional opinions
Preceding a poorly painted & painful past
Quietly questioning quality
Running road races
Searching for something sincere

Timeless taunting & torture
Unsure underclassman unite as
Venomous voices venture
Within windows & written on walls
X-ray & Xeroxed

Young, young years
Zipping away
And all we have left to say is …
Where do we stand?
