"birth pains"
you spilled the
blood and spoiled everything
taking turns at
playing God with someone else's life
and no sponge can
soak up the blood
that cries out
on the floor
and all you can
say is that you'd like to kill some more
explain to me your
mentality
having to sit a
child on your knee in front of the television
and having to explain
explain away with
sociology
to blame the media
and video games we play
but that's an easy
way to dismiss this
as society goes
down the drain
and these are just
the beginning of the birth pains
a distant sun, a
wormwood star
just destroy it
all it's gone too far
we don't deserve
to live in our humanness
or have children
that grow up in a world like this
things fall apart,
the center doesn't hold
and the younger
we are
the more we're
forced to grow old
and the scariest
part of this whole charade
is that it only
gets worse i'm afraid
and though i'd
like to believe the lies
that we can solve
this with our feeble brains
i know there are
sure to be more birth pains
