Extra! Extra! READ ALL ABOUT IT! THEY’VE DONE IT!

They’ve (s)killed us for nothing for some reason again.

Heard clear as a Crystal Pepsi.

They don’t (s)care anymore. They just do it!

(T)his power is too grand for these tiny hands.

“The Gonzales were deported last night.”

Same fight. New Old target.

Tired Soldiers. Worn Warriors. Weeping Widows.

Crying Children don’t run home with scars nowadays…

Mostly because they’re too busy fighting from being scarred

From being ran out of their home their home their home their

Home is here

That Day was important and you chose to waste it and now we may die.

This is gonna be fun…it has to be.

Because the ___ stops today.
