THESE DAYS

The crucifixion of society has brought about the sacrifice of love and tears

Lost and alone on the path of fear


The innocent is no longer the victim 

But guilty of dying by the hand of the ignorant 

By the one to serve and protect but only to serve a lie.


A gun and fear has replaced a rope and unbridled ignorance

The strange fruit that once hung in trees now rot on the grown

Added to the cornucopia of death


My mind is a mess wanting to scream 

What can I do or say to make a change

When no one wants to walk that way
