Milk-Carton Faces MAG

By Anonymous

   My faces you know from the milk carton.
I'm the child of promised sweets and aride home.
I am a number for file purposes. 1003.
Lucky three for threeyears more.
A car door slammed on childhood.
"Shut-up and sit down."
Iscream for my family and lost youth.
They scream at me.
To you I'm just aphotograph.
A headline to shock you all.
But if you saw me in thestreet,
you wouldn't recognize me.
You can buy my face for a$1.25,
that's all I'm worth anymore.

Drink your milk, it does a bodygood.
Much good it's doing me.
