kids are a killin

kids are a killin

I wrote this sometime in 2000/2001 after hearing that a judge was going to try
and sentence a twelve year old boy as an adult for charges of murder, after
he had shot and killed atleast one classmate. Pissed me off, obviously (as
you'll see in the poem), because the problems in America stem from different
problems in our society. Sentencing a child as an adult will never cure the
cancer we have in this country.
