©2010 Poison of Youth (Fear in Religion)

Two officers lie dead
two wounded on the ground
A father and his teen son die exchanging lead
Four lives over , in fire fought rounds.

A "routine" traffic violation gone wrong
young minds full of racism and biblical armageddon
too tragic almost for poetry, too taboo for song
confused youth, ignorant adults, with nothing won.

The van they drove linked to white supremecy
sixteen's a bit too young for such a condition
preachers spouting that its the end ,you see
warping their empty heads into submission.

Jesus said, "only my father knows when it is time"
we need not fret over something like this
cant we live life today? Death comes too soon to find
our souls in pretention, that state leaves life missed.

Remember the words of our prophet crucified
before taking that path again
such a war as that is only genocide
it kills His message and yeilds insanity , unneeded pain.
