sb123's picture

A shot, then silent
Screams, cries, drowned in lies
The truth is hidden, behind
The clouds of smoke, the bombs that fly
The sad part is, does anyone know why?

none of us really understanding why
We ask ourselves why can there be peace
But the sad part is the answer is inside us each.
