Turn out the lights



What do you think when the lights go out in a house where there's just been a fight? Has the woman gotten beat up and is now being consoled? Is her lover holding her down against her will. Is there a broken vase and water spilling on the floor? Scars running down the wall from all the broken pieces of glass that have come in contact?My California RantShining through the smog is hard,synthetic lights float in the air.Rare are the nights when we seestars twinkle alongside the moon.Clouds cover the shining lights,our cars and factories create coatsof toxic fumes that infiltrate our lungs.In Los Angeles the lung of a person looksblack with all the smoke stains. It doesn't matter if they don't smoke,pollution and smog takes care to createlung cancer. It also doesn't help whenit's so glamerous to smoke in LA, if Holleywood shows it, honey it must be true.If our air regulation laws are betterthan the rest of the nation, why is it that people still diejust from what they breathe through their lungsdriving down the freeway with no cigarette in their hands?Huntington Beach a toxic dumpsite.Children die of brain tumors and yetcity officials let them build away,money speaks and suddenly higher levels of toxicity are okay.California is dying in all it's shitthe beautiful sunny days are still herebut sometimes they are clouded awaywith smog and our children still playin parks where toxic chemicals lay in the ground.
