Nov 2011
Church bells heard through sirens
Is all hope is dead
Or is it hiding
Modern society sickens me
Daughters being pushed and bruised
Mothers forgetting their babies
Fathers drinking till the pale world falls to pieces
What happened to honesty?
Poise and laughter
More gossip is read than gospel
Is this where I have to bring my children,
Into this unforgiving, unfair, unfortunate world
Gavels bang as widows weep
A gun fires as a child drops hopelessly to the ground
Will this ****** ever end?
Will peace ever be restored?
