“Lullaby” by Chuck Palahniuk
Ever heard if a culling song? It's a lullaby sung in Africa to give a painless death the old or infirm. The lyrics of a culling song kill, whether spoken or even just thought. You can find one on page 27 of "Poems and Rhymes from Around the World", an anthology on the shelves of libraries across the country. When reporter Carl Streator discovers that unsuspecting readers are reading the poem and accidentally killing their children, he begins a desperate cross-country quest to put the culling song to rest and save the nation from certain disaster.
