Shots ring out and someone hits the ground.
Another senseless death from a cowardly clown.
Bragging, boasting about respect cause he followed gang leader orders.

Or acted on his own.

Now you're under the gun from a certain someone.

No one care about the parent/parents crying.
Or that their child died.
Least, not the killer until he's caught and crying about facing time.

He didn't care about the parent/parents crying.
Or even about their child that died.

Now comes the hardest part.

A preacher will preach.
Give an emotional sermon about gangs, death, and injustice.
More so for show.
But truly level all the blame upon the law.

Parents, in some cases, know your child evil ways.
There are many reasons why we pray?

One for that child being in a gang, on the street or on drugs.

Now comes the hardest part.

When will gang violence end?
