I saw this on Facebook and really felt the need to share it. I have NEVER seen a more perfect poem, written in the saddest way.

"I destroy homes, tear families apart, take your children, and that's just the start.

I'm more costly than diamonds, more costly than gold, the sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

And if you need me, remember I'm easily found.

I live all around you, in schools and in town.
