The best time of our lives becoming the worst

Lies plague the hearts of others

Laughter becomes a sign of persecution

Bystanders cheer on as lives are ruined

Love of life is quickly fading

Replaced by desires of an ending

Mothers and fathers weep for their sons and daughters

Forever lost to cruelty

We simply look on, afraid of being targets

Brothers and sisters long for the lost

He hasn't done anything wrong

He was just different

She hasn't done anything wrong

She was just different

What did they do to deserve this?
