Description
This is the world we live inPop-pop-BANG! ...
That was a firecracker, right?
Right!?
Please tell me it was some silly teenager
Please tell me it wasn't what everyone is thinking
Please tell me it wasn't a gunshot.
This is the world we live in.
Children dying for selfish reasons
Dying for pride and dying for the wrong choices
For being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Sorry, you had the wrong luck.
People bond when they have something in common.
When they walk amongst us,
you never notice the space they fill
Until that space is horribly, violently empty.
Tears in the classrooms,
Tears in the hallways,
Why, why, why, why?
Nothing to do but say
"Sorry."
Sorry doesn't fill that space.
Doesn't give that one back
Doesn't replace the one gone.
Children dying for selfish, selfish reasons.
Who are they to play the Grim Reaper,
And bring death?
The world isn't fair, doesn't have to be fair, isn't expected to be
But it doesn't make sense.
It should have the barest scrap
Of decency and make sense
Of this awful thing.
This is the world we live in.
