The mind is a fragile glob of a thing
central command /
controls to the push buttons.
...and there is a reason
why the surgeon-generals
scientist's with their lab-rats
witch-craft
place warning labels
on cigarettes / monoxide fumes
cancer wafting in
and reasons why
the educational systematic d.a.r.e.
warns of the downfall
having anti-drug
show and learn
with actual footage
films about enbibed catastrophe
black and white Ansel shots
needles / puncture holes / junkies
(show them,
they do not wince
they've become tolerant,
immune to their everyday occurance
like morning coffee's
little push.)
Slides on red tape murder-scenes
angry D.A.D.D.'s
S.A.D.D. mothers
radical vehicular
Mr. A Anonymous
involuntary
man-slaughter
Non Applicable
Under the influence
teaching
prevention
to the already numb
Although experience
is the best kind of good teacher
to be a youth in our day
is to be impetuous
capricious
typical
naïve
mistaken,
even grievous
when i wish now
since from before
the voices that whisper
in my head
my name
tell them to
close the door
that keeps them out
behind
them...
