T&D
Death, murder, heartache, incarceration
The very things teens attempt to avoid
Texting and driving
The very thing that can lead to it all
Eyes become glued to a screen and the background fades
Clicking buttons, music blaring, glancing up every few seconds
Russian Roulette becomes the game
Spin the barrel, pull, click, spin the barrel, pull, click, spin the barrel, pull, then…
Your luck has run out
Homicide, assault, or even suicide has been committed
Incarceration or death is destiny; Future disintegrated
Tears, pain, heartache, angst,
All for a few words on a screen
