We're so used to violence in our schools and on the streets that when we go home and see it it's in the back seat. Witnessing a crime against family, it's like we have lost our own humanity. The plague in our minds. Minds, mindset with no direction. No distractions So we take to the bottle with nothing but empty sorrow. We drowned in them, overfilled with liquid hate and pushed down by the sorrow we saw and felt in every corner of our lives. We drank till we thought no more...

We're so used to violence in our schools and on the streets that when we go home and see it it's in the back seat. Witnessing a crime against family, it's like we have lost our own humanity. The plague in our minds. Minds, mindset with no direction. No distractions So we take to the bottle with nothing but empty sorrow. We drowned in them, overfilled with liquid hate and pushed down by the sorrow we saw and felt in every corner of our lives. We drank till we thought no more...
Thoughts, Experiences, and Witnesses. I saw violence again today, in school and outside. Why can't we do more? It is me and you who have to put a stop to it. A new generation rises up, don't burden them with today's problems.
