"How did the world come to this?. . .
Our voices have been silenced
We call up to the Lord for guidance.
Life has become a continuous wraith
All because of a declaration of faith.
Our country once was shared
Children now are hurt and scared
Never been so close to death
We pray to God in every breath
Why can't they just leave us alone?
Terrorizing us in our own home?
And who will fight beside us? None.
We're slowly dying, one by one.
My sister was born just yesterday
I walk outside and there her body lay
I fell to my knee's, soon ran away i couldn't bare to go near it.
My mothers cry so loud, yet bet the haters couldn't hear it!
How much more must die?
How much more must live this life?
My father's behind bars!
My little brothers 1 year old yet is covered up by scars.
My wrists have chains around them
Tears still stain my cheeks
My prison smells like my familes blood
Death and fear, it wreaks.
My cousins they are orphans, raised beside the gun
Tears are falling, screams are loud
Something must be done.
Oh people, hear me. Gunshots were my lullaby
I watched my home on fire, i watched my family die.
Oh people can't you hear my cry?
Or are we just like all else around you.
We we were born to die?. . ." August Kat 😭😭😭😭
