This Won't Make Sense


This means we can’t scream.

And not screaming means not being heard

Not being heard means not being saved

Not that they care enough… I mean they left us to rot

If it wasn’t for them, would I even be writing these words?

These closed up words which don’t have to look like I’m screaming

Because Otherwise I would pay for that

They are supermen yes but at which price?

Is public bloodshed any different from silent murder?

The last time I heard, all the victims end up in graves

Innocent or not they all deserve to live

Who are you to take away their lives?

Of course I won’t ask you to put yourself in their shoes

Can I?

No. of course no.

This doesn’t even make sense

Bu you see, it’s always been this way

She got to stay silent

Again, this won’t make sense until its end

If ever there’s an end to this,

Let’s hope it’s a good one.
