Violent homes: war on the streets of suburbia

Violent homes: war on the streets of suburbia

Skin 
 Deep
You hurt me 
 Skin deep
 Words 
   Fists 
     Bash 
        Bruise
  A war on the streets of suburbia 
      A war on the streets of suburbia 
A war 
 Without tanks 
    Without an army 
 Without guns 
   A war 
      With alcohol
    Abuse 
       A man and a woman
    Curse 
   A war in which 
A dog 
 Was beaten 
   A child 
Was beaten
A woman 
Was beaten
   A war on the streets of suburbia 
         Dear Mummy
   Daddy 
      Step daddy 
         Doggy 
   A war inside 
      homes 
  White picket fence 
      Neat flower beds 
          Bruised heads 
    On the streets 
       Of suburbia 
Suburbia 
   Suburbia 
   A war on the streets of suburbia
