Half a Hundred Orphans
Half a hundred orphans
Orphaned by choice
By shame
"God's will"
"In his name"
"Abominations, every one"
"Abomination"
That's my son
Someone's daughter -
Late one night
Looking for a bite, no fight
Gunned down
In the name of god
For the love of God
No fight
Dead. On a club dance floor
One dead, two dead
Dozens more
Alive -
Orphans parents live
They give
They grieve
They cry
Changing minds
Changing clothes
Changing lives
Goodbye for real, not by choice this time
One man -
One gun
One night
No one could put up a fight.
Goodbye - Mom and Dad say
We didn't mean goodbye
that *way
