What will you do
by Richard Maxfield
4-25-99

Why do our children have to die
and leave all who love left to cry
young lives that ended before their time
there is no reason there is no rime
those kids with so much ahead
now there is no life they are dead
their parents I dont have a clue
If I was one what would I do
you love your kids and take such care
and something like this takes you unaware
how can we save our kids at school
and teach them to be nobodies fool
what will it take to make us aware
what will it take to make us care
how many more have to die
how many more are left to cry
there is something so wrong today
what it is, is  so hard to say
it is such a shame and we shake our head
while others hold guns and our children are dead
its not the guns that do the killing
it is our children, the thought is chilling  
there is such a problem and we all set by
what will you do when it is your time to cry
