freedom fries (or the all-american all-stars)

By theBAC

he doesn’t know he is going
to become a junky
in two years
& overdose in three

she doesn’t know she is going
to fall in love tomorrow
& be heart broke
in six months

he doesn’t know his mom
will kill herself
in two weeks

she doesn’t know her son
wants her to die

he doesn’t know his girlfriend
is sucking another cock
right now

she doesn’t know the cock
she is sucking
has syphilis

he doesn’t know he has syphilis
& will spread it
to three more mouths
& cunts

she doesn’t know she is gonna
lose her virginity
tomorrow night
& that it won’t
be by choice

he doesn’t know he is gonna
lose control
& rape his girlfriend

she doesn’t know she’s gonna
marry a future pedophile

he doesn’t know he will eventually
molest his daughter

she doesn’t know she will
slowly poison her husband
over the course
of four years

he doesn’t know he is gonna
drive drunk
& kill a family
of five

she doesn’t know what love is

he doesn’t know how to love

she doesn’t know she is gonna
be buried in a barrel

he doesn’t know he is gonna
discover his sister’s body
buried on their farm

she doesn’t know her first drink
will lead her to
a hundred random rooms
& to dozens
of anonymous meetings

he doesn’t know his first joint
will burn down his house

she doesn’t know that
sperm donor #3Z95
is her brother

he doesn’t know that
tomorrow he
isn’t going to wake up

she doesn’t know her father

he doens’t know his mother

she doesn’t do anal

he doesn’t know he
is gonna make her

she doesn’t know that
the tele-marketer
that called her
was her long-lost father

he doesn’t know the gun he bought
when he was 22
will blow out the brains
of his son, when
he is 7

she doesn’t know the man
she has been sleeping next to
& calls her husband

he doesn’t know his daughter is being
double-teamed right now

she doesn’t know her son
is jerking off
to gay porn

he doesn’t know why
when he closes his eyes
to write
this is what he sees

he doesn’t know why
it doesn’t bother him
anymore

he doesn’t know...

    The interconnections...the butterfly effect and all that jazz, but you made it real, you made it sickening and engage the full scope of horror that one misled moment can create

    There was alot of thought put into this write. Though, at times, slightly disturbing but very real all in the same. Good work.
