Another Child
Another child was abused today,
A mother’s pain will never go away.
She lost her child to a bullet that pierced her head,
An innocent little child lays dead.
I bite my lip out of frustration,
When will we rise above this awful situation?
We are not as free as we should be,
We are living in pain in this society.
Will you give me a chance today just to be a child?
I want to laugh and just be wild.
Not another lifeless body without a face,
I just want to be another child filled with hope in this place.
