So isn't it wack
Whitney and Bobby smoked crack
What is up with that?
It was not a knife
It was drugs that took his life.
Now that wasn't right.
Please stop violence
Don't turn away from the truth
Blood! Too many guns.

Interpersonal Violence (non-haiku)
Staring at you, not believing what you did
Like a card game, you played me like a little bird.
I dropped to the floor from that one blow
Blood stopping, dripping, isn't able to flow.
Violence, so strong!
It took one time and I was.....Gone.

DELAYING SEX (non-haiku)
We're lying in the bed
We had sex..now in the clinic
Wating to hear Next?
It lasted an hour
So now it's over
You asked - "where's the condom?"
He said, "over there on the counter."
SUICIDE (Non-haiku)
Popped the pilles
made her sick
Mom got mad..hit her in the face.
Today she popped again.
Now her funeral is at 2pm.

OBESITY/NUTRITION
Cereal Killer
I am a cereal killer you know why?
because I eat cereal like every day, no lie!
I eat cereal with milk, jam, an even jelly.
I'm so good when its in my belly!
It taste so god - don't you know?
I like to eat it nice and slow.
Eating all the crunchy cereal - it taste so good!
I' eat all the cereal in the world if I could.
I'm a cereal killer - you know why?
Because I eat cereal like every day, no lie.
