Souls by Amanda L MarronTears 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
