what is left we must fend for

by Justin Grieshop 13 - Aquarius

Sent to a place where the end is near
Where hope is gone and left is fear

I talk to tell how we've become
With whats adding up I'm afraid of the sum

I'm asked to lie cheat and steal
If I wasn't here I'd doubt it to be real

I hate to see where I'll find my children
Will they grow up to not no anything but sin

Will I lose my son in soul and in mind
Will my daughter grow up and see love she can't find

I cry I sob at what you left me to fix
Will my kids take a gun to me at six

So many answers that are left unknown
Oh my forefathers what a life you have sewn

All I need is for things to take a turn
Before what is still left does nothing but burn

Reason for writing:

    Us. What we have grown to know. I'm left to fend for a world
that I can not protect and I'm 13
