Guarding Their Morals
Cheryl Hurston
Thirty-two people were shot last night
from seven o’clock to ten.
A psychopath tortured some women,
then after commercials, some men.
An arsonist burned up a warehouse.
A hit man erased several thugs.
A porn flick was made starring children.
A ten-year-old OD’ed on drugs.
A baby was beaten, in color,
a teenager raped with a broom.
A businessman’s wife was kidnapped
and stuffed in a two-by-six tomb.
The kids watch such fare nearly nightly,
but schools, say the parents, need checks.
“Teach that book? My Lord, are you crazy?
The boy in it thinks about sex!”
