……

On my way to work
I had to go through
some of the worst
neighborhoods
in the city

I used to find it funny
that there were all
of these billboards
talking about
the dangers of
childhood obesity
when in these areas
kids were walking around
dealing dope and
carrying hand guns

I’m sorry, but I have to say
that the thought of a 12 year old
doing a drive-by scares me more
than a kid stuffing his face
at a local McDonald’s

Yeah, these kids won’t
outlive their parents
but not because they
ate too many ho ho’s
but because they
got shot in the fucking face

I don’t know about you
but I’d rather see billboards
about that
