Untitled

I gazed helplessly full of sorrow Knowing that this boy wont see tomorrow He laid there on the ground Full of agony but cried not a sound My eyes full of silent tears His eyes full of silent fears He will die because of quick money Because of the dangers he failed to see He played with fire to feed his kids and wife Now his body will never again breathe life He'll be remembered only through a grave People will forget where his body laid In his coffin his soul will rest With two shots in his chest He was just a youth trying to be a man It was the consequences he didn't understand Now he lies here with his last few words "Tell my wife I love her," was all I heard
