Down On The Floor...

by Tony T. - Aquarius



My eye's shift from left to right. Again and again my
brother I see a fight. Fist's slam eachother and heads
go down. I look to the left of me and the blood is all
over the ground...

Why? Why? Why must we all hate? Why? Why? Why must this
world be destroyed by little kids, little lives, little
friendships, little lies...I just wish they would learn.

My face meets the victim, they were shot to the ground.
Down, bloody and filthy on the tile floors. I cried as
she bled and asked for prayer. Lord I ask for you to give
her all you're care!

Why? Why? Why must we all continue this path? Path of
destruction and anguish! Tormented minds, no sense of
time. Families ripped apart, limbs missing, flung out to
the floor. Glass broken. Tears shed. Blood shed. Lives
dead. Why Lord, God please let me know, WHY?!!!!!

I feel for all of the helpless people. Sometimes in life,
the enemies cannot control their minds. I wish for God to
cure their sores. Make them whole inside again and make
them turn to Gold. To gold, to change. To turn away they're
heads and face forward into the light. Light, not darkness.
Darkness, go away!

Why? Why? Why can't we all just get along? I just guess
the World will always burn. We just have to stick together,
the ones who love and want to learn, leading the right
directions. Lord.......................................
"Can you hear me?"
Whispering softly. The cold, frost bitten air nipping at my
eyelids. Lord, can you see me? I know you can, as you gaze
upon this land...please help me to get over these issues.
Learn to deal with my own life. Learn to be myself. Learn
to accept everyone, for who they really are.

Down on the floor. Up with God, floor no more!

Reason for writing:

    All the shootings going on lately. It's really upsetting.
Am I the only sensible teenager at my High School? Everyone
hates a certain group of kids, but I like making friends
with anyone who will accept and befriend me!
