Elegy for Juarez

"I'm gonna cut you off" he says
the small view gang man of Juarez

hollow points and hollowed head
detached triggers pulled and bled

the reasons lost, the lives tossed
no matter, no sense, the lines crossed

can we make sense in drug induced times
of bluntly unworthy familial crimes

power and money and money and power
humanity we snort and slowly devour

who's the culprit who's the victim
the police can't save the judges dictum

we all have died a little death
when children die and kill for meth

Hi, agoodguy2have,
So many powerful and haunting lines...humanity devoured! Now, how to change how the story ends! Thank you for sharing.

Tastefully written, i blame the system, not the users..., after all its the system they're trying to escape by using...
