I’ve never felt so strongly about it
but now I’m completely surrounded
by feelings of anger confounded
my future is clouded
how can anybody just tell me
that their lives are worthless
when everybody around me is mourning
our pain is a warning
how can you be so heartless?
when the people you harm are so harmless
let them slip into the darkness
now we’re right back where we started
they’re sending a message through their blood
when they just wanted their children to feel loved
does their suffering help them be judged
has our empathy been numbed?
