Cold Bodies

Year of nine
We learned through wine
Not to sing
The hymn of swine

Through vacant words
That fall like birds
From cloudy skies
Our teachers and drug dealers
Take time to eat our minds

Year of ten
We fall again
Failure born
From hidden hands

To the black surface of Kiwanis
Cold bodies rise
Mothers and fathers
Are forced to try
Identify

Cold bodies rise, identify
Cold bodies rise, identify
Cold bodies rise, identify
Cold bodies rise, identify
