PRAYING THAT THE END OF HIS WORLD
WILL COME SOON
HE LIVES IN THE WORLD
A WORLD OF DISPAIR
A WORLD FULL OF HATE
A WORLD IN WHICH NO ONE CARES
HOW IS HE GOING
TO LIVE HIS LIFE
WITHOUT CARRYING A GUN
OR EVEN A KNIFE
THE LIVES HE SEES
TAKEN AWAY
NEVER TO COME BACK
NEVER TO SEE ANOTHER DAY
WHAT HURT HIM MOST
BRINGING TEARS TO HIS YOUNG EYES
THE SOUND OF HEARING
HIS DYING MOTHER’S CRIES
SHE DIED KNOWING
THE PAIN IN HER HEART
CAUSED BYA STRAY BULLET
THAT TORE HER LIFE APART
TAKING AWAY
THE MAN IN HER LIFE
THE MAN THAT PLACED A RING ON HER FINGER
TO BE HIS DEDICATED WIFE
NO MAN LEFT
ONLY A CHILD
TRYING EVERYDAY
TO MAKE HIS MOTHER SMILE
THE LOVE WE TAKE FOR GRANTED
WE MUST CHERISH
FOR ANY DAY
THAT LOVE CAN PERISH
UNTIL HE DIES
THE CHILD WILL NEVER KNOW WHY
BUT HE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
HIS DYING MOTHER CRIES.
