He was 42 years old and had not figured it out
The lad was only six and had a better understanding
of what was right from wrong.
The lad found the gun and thought it was a toy
The man said put the gun down and don't make me pay.
It was a hot day in July without warning
no one cared that there was a loss of life
They just watched the flashing lights and listend to the sirens
On that day a life ended
it ended because no one listened when the hammer came down.
