Death in the news

Death in the air

Death all around

A young life destroyed due to ignorance...

What do you think?

A young life destroyed due to hatred...

What do you think?

A young life destroyed due to depression...

What do you think?

you know, it doesn't seem right for me to survive

when you suffered, died tragically

I didn't know you, but seeing and hearing about it makes me think...

think about all the lives that could have been saved.

Why are things the way they are?

Why do things happen the way they do?

Why can't things just change?

Death is becoming a way of life,

meaning nothing when it happens.

Just another victim.

A faceless statistic.

You have the right to live.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem one night after hearing on the news about a young child being beaten to do death. It just pissed me off how many young lives are taken for senseless reasons. 1-23-04
