How many tears are cried?
How many eyes never dry
Before another has to die
It's been a long time
4700 names lost, drive bys,
Homicides, thug life statistics
Twelve years since the first fell
Then revenge tolled the death knell
One of them for one of us
Consequences never discussed
Just perpetuate the cycle
It's not even survival
No instinct or thought
Just itchy trigger fingers pulled
Without consideration
The end?
Holocaust, exhaustion or
When there's no one left and the last rags
Blow down streets that none of us owned
But for some were worth killing and dying for
No regrets? Just the final words...
"I do not ask why I should die this way, but why I was ever born at all"

dang BorD this part really hit me
"How many tears are cried?
How many eyes never dry
Before another has to die"its true for so many people, and its so sad, because anger, frustration, and sadness just add on, and no one has the proper time to cope and feel better.. which leads to the raids of violence drive bys, possibly shooting someone who had nothing to do with "our" own friends death. it's sad

Thanks, yes in my years of doing this the death never stops...historically there have been countries at war 100 years, maybe it will take that long...

"God is not willing that any should perish", we are here to try to help the situation not just watch it.
Jesus was never immune to suffering he wept at suffering, when we become numb to suffering and loss it's over.

death is apart of life. evryone dies
yea
we all kno that **** all to well
aint no love at all in this world
aint no remorse
ppl in the calles we live in have no mercy
they only care bout savin thier own lives
n survivin their own fates
its horrible the **** we as gods children will do to eachother
we are our own worst enemies
when i pray at night i ask god
please save us from ourselvesbut i believe the only true love a person can have or recieve is the love of God himself
give your heart to him
not the dusty **** **** or **** yaw claimin
