NO GAME




I am words out of words
nothing left to say

I want the bleeding to stop
no kids to die because
of a game console
no father to steal someone
else's mess of a world
no gang member to think
bang bang is the answer
to thievery
no baby to die
while her diaper is being
changed.

Too late I know. This is no game.
and what I want doesn't count
in this madness
but I want it
nevertheless
