      We are

      Born like this

      Into this

      Into these carefully mad wars

      Into the sight of broken factory windows of emptiness

      Into bars where people no longer speak to each other

      Into fist fights that end as shootings and knifings

      Born into this

      Into hospitals which are so expensive that it’s cheaper to die

      Into lawyers who charge so much it’s cheaper to plead guilty

      Into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed

      Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes

      -Charles Bukowski
