Broken Dawn

Look me in the eyes and tell me everything’s okay

Smile at my naive face and say tomorrow’s a new day

filled with places to go, people to see, things to say

look me in the eyes and tell me everything’s okay

when we’re fighting a war

tweeting about whores

smoking for more

more exposed than before

Children.

Sandy Hook and Columbine; an eye for an eye makes the world and we are stumbling in the dark for the switch

trigger

pitch

bigger

more

before

Bourgeoisie line their pockets with blood diamonds in their eyes

while 13 year old Cambodians, Rwandans, Ugandans are forced to dismember their mothers.

Mother, where have you gone?

Lady Liberty is too busy guarding the borders

hoarders

exemplify the twisted sickness the first world is bringing

singing
the haunting voices of our children wondering where the polar bears went

sent

away because gay is sacrilege

their marriage is separate but equal so take it

sound familiar?

Political dispute, filial commutes rob your children of family dinner

sinner

aborting the factor factor product of a rape she knows won’t live past the age of two

her tears, pooling in the buckets of black that scar our nation

mother, help me, I'm afraid not of what others will do to me but of what I will do to myself

Shelves, lined with textbooks printed in the ink of one God leaving the young Hindu wondering which one killed the others

mother, where are we now?

Mommy, stay with me; Mommy, say I love you; Politicians, get it straight

look me in the eyes and tell me everything’s okay

smile at my naive face and say tomorrow’s a new day
