Gutteral moan more a scream

was the last thing the chicken did
before they killed it and you fed it
to your kids.
I keep going backwards
trying to go forward.
I keep going down
when I try to go up.
They went to work each day knowing they could,
one day, retire. They ever made it; never knew
they didn't make it. Some asshole showed up at
their job with three guns and killed them while
they were just living another day.
Don’t seem fair that this can happen in the
good Ole USA
