Liquor Makes the World Violent
by a young man, age 16It’s in my blood to be a drunk.
I can only think of one person who don’t drink in my family,
my brother, who’s a Jesus freak.
Things that are bad about drinking:
Kills muscle
Kills your brain
Kills your liver (my mom’s liver is really bad from drinking)
Violence
I don’t like that it makes my family violent.
And it makes me violent too
'cause I’ve got anger inside.
Out on the street corner
I don’t even remember the night
I was out beefin’ with another gang,
got jumped,
woke up in my bed
all bloody.
I don’t even remember the night.
I think liquor makes the world violent.
Dedicated to my mom and family
