Souls

by Amanda L Marron

Tears are falling everywhere
All around
Embraces are constant
No understanding
No compassion
You didn't witness it
You didn't see it
With your eyes
Seeing this person take the life
Of another
No respect for life
Smiling as he shoots his gun
Laughing as his victim falls
How could you be so cold-hearted?
So full of hate
So evil
To give evil a name
Is to give it power
But we will not give you
Your power
That you long for
That you yearn for
You don't deserve it
You haven't earned it
Never will you gain
What you hope to get
Our souls
