Random Thoughts

Out of the blue thoughts
Spin circles in my head
Why a puppy has its own tail for an enemy
The black widow feeds on its mate
We walk around hating ourselves

This are the times

A countys people take to the streets
For the leaders they chose to pay attention

Only violence speaks and is heard
As men in uniforms chase after college kids
While children dissapear and cases stay unsolved
Women use guns and hide bodies in water drums

I can't visit my neighbor before locking my house
Lest someone borrow all I own

When the man repairing shoes must pay the government
Which still can't afford enough drugs in hospitals

I guess once something is made
It immediately starts towards destruction
