R.I.P.
Location
I cry for those who cannot cry anymore
I speak for those who are lost
I can’t take the violence anymore
I refuse to believe this is the world I live in
I mourn the loss of another child of the earth
His suffering has ended
Why are we like this?
We have lost faith in this world
Why do we kill and maim?
To mask the pain we hold
Why do we allow this to happen?
Because we feel helpless against it
My tears flow for the blood that has been spilt
For the pain inflicted on the innocent
I comprehend what is happening
I understand the action
What I don’t understand is the motive
Why do people take lives that are meant to live?
They love the power over us
What drives them?
Our fear
Tell me why this happens
Tell me when innocent blood will stop trickling down the streets
When the well of malice dries up
Tell me when it will stop
Tell me when I can close my eyes again to rest in peace
Tell me when its okay to breath again
