Jason Isbell 2013don't know if the song fits don't caretook all day to learn this hurt physically to play and emotionally to watch. It's everywhere. It all just ingrains hate into the CHILDRENstructural violenceStructural violence refers to systematic ways in which social structures harm or otherwise disadvantage individuals. Structural violence is subtle, often invisible, and often has no one specific person who can (or will) be held responsible (in contrast to behavioral violence). I also hold that behavioral violence and structural violence can intertwine — some of the easiest examples of structural violence involve police, military, or other state powers committing violent acts; of course one can blame the individual soldier, but the factors that lead to a soldier killing a civilian are far more complex than that explanation would imply. Let me quote Dr. Paul Farmer,“Structural violence is one way of describing social arrangements that put individuals and populations in harm’s way… The arrangements are structural because they are embedded in the political and economic organization of our social world; they are violent because they cause injury to people … neither culture nor pure individual will is at fault; rather, historically given (and often economically driven) processes and forces conspire to constrain individual agency. Structural violence is visited upon all those whose social status denies them access to the fruits of scientific and social progress.”RTZMost people can't look far enough down the road to see what their actions cause.If A kids father is killed in Iraq today a new martyr may be born, it might take 20 years from now or 2 weeks. When you screw with someone you instantly lose part of you sense of safety, directed violence is much more prevalent then these random acts.It's easy to put someone in the ground and becoming easier for people to find ways to which they deserve it.Excuse me rant couldn't sleep

Thanks Nancy hope you had a great Easter.
Nice MD I have a bad feeling we will need more of those!
I don't know anything about Belgium except they have waffles with big dents and some of the best Beer in the world.
The first two or three lines certainly fit the context.
