cherished as a baby, loved as a child
love given readily, everything desired
mammothreptive existence crazy and wild
a dangerous teenager demands a just
everything gotten must be a must
what could not be had could be got
mumma wiped his nose covered in snot
theft is a must to survive on a crust
stealing a car hidden by the rust
drugs were the ticket to an ill gotten gain
made enough money to holiday in Spain
arrested at the airport not to visit again
to him it did not matter, if it’s all the same
caught in a mall, by the fountain in the hall
shoppers listening to the music played by the band
stealing an iPad from a delivering van
surrounded by police with gun in hand
the TV news said as he gunned people down
a wrong kind of star completely out of control
inexplicably sad became overthrown
the police shot the boy who is now in a hole
mum wept hard she could do for him no more
never knowing the reason or what Kalma is for
