[hometext] => This was a poem i have had stashed away. Wrote it when i was a troubled 14 year old.
[bodytext] => Do we really need to hear about it on the news About people being hurt, shot and abused What can we do to heal their pain What can we say to keep them sane Innocent children caught up in a war tiny bodies so hurt and so sore No mother to hold them tight in their arms No money to feed them and no land to farm A runaway girl who hated her life Couldn't cope with the abuse from dads wife Now lays in a gutter far from her home Her killer at large and the streets he roams Children find guns and now they see How easy it is to kill and be Another statistic for the government to say It's the parents fault for them being that way This world can be cruel and hurtful inside And we have to live in it and rules to abide That there is a reason for everyones pain But for god sake don't let them go through it again.
