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
