Just Stop.


What is our worth?

Are we only valuable at birth?

We are all given the right to live,

So why tell death we will soon arrive?

 

As we go place to place,

Always give one a strong embrace.

For we always see the loss of human life,

It is the community's strife.

 

A simple distraction can end it all,

So stop before into darkness we fall.

Keep clear minded and put it away,

I would like to stay.

 

Someday I would like to meet, Stranger.

Let us not put our lives in danger.

Put away your phone,

It is too early for a tombstone.

The extraction of thoughts must be produced eloquently into words. For those afraid to speak, speak of the best.
