Punked
Are we
so desensitized
by the plethora
of make-believe violence
on our Xboxes,
in action films,
in our modern art--
so much so
that we fully expect
to become victims
in a country
with the highest murder rate
in the world,
where nine year old
punks with Glocks
rule the streets
and our minds?

It sickens me how blood and violence have become the "norm" and how kids are desensitized to it all.
Well, you are preaching to the converted in me! I live in NYC where we are very pro-gun control. It's crazy that there are so many around and so available - and we are desensitized as you say not only to the violence but to the craziness of the ubiquitous weaponry! Thanks. k.
most def man....desensitized surely...we all need assault rifles so we can hunt, ya knew....smiles
...how do we stop this crazy merry-go-round?
Don't trust anyone over 21!!!!
There was a cult movie of the 60's named Wild in The Streets, the main theme was "Don't trust anyone over 30".
