True Crime Cast

The subtle ways life kills you, kill you.
The brutal ways life kills you, kill you.
Let’s not blame life, since mostly

Humans kill you. Wait, is that true?
To listen to people, you’d think
Bad diet and bad habits

And sometimes murderers kill you.
People don’t talk that much, frankly,
About what, specifically, kills you,

Except those really unlikely weapons
Found in crime and war stories,
Where any weird tool will do.

Oh, why not? Go ahead and blame life.
Not art. Poetry barely bores you.
