Scum

Not all men are scum
Not all of us are Auto-body scanners
No, not all of us are heart-stoned 
Not all of us are dishonest
Not all of us are ab-packed
Not all of us are porn stars
Monsters or barbarians
Not all of us live on a codeine diet
Yes the word ‘Gentle’ still resides in our biceps
Yes, the truth still sleeps in these tongues of ours
Yes, some of us still wear good intentions on our wrist
Some of us still wear vision like a pendant
Some of us are still trying to find ourselves
And you know that takes time
Some of us still call our Mom’s on mother’s day
Some of us still take malt and fanta
Some of us still hope the rest of us go back to the drawing board
Some of us still call on to our lost brothers
