Bang Bang

bang bang

Bang bang, go the shots at night.
another person has lost his life.
Morning has come and night has passed,
I can only hope nothing will cross my path.

For the air I breathe I am thankful for
and hope God will spare me some more.
I stand in the morning sunshine and believe.. 
believe that it is time... 
to start making use of what is mine.
It is given to us all; it is priceless
and should be appreciated by all.
If one takes time to appreciate more
the thought of wrongdoing will exist no more.

The earth is the fairest I know.
It has reached the sun in order for me to glow.
the day goes on and turns closer to night.
The other end of the world needs its time for light.
The stars and moon have blessed me with sight,
on this scary planet that's so dark at night.

Bang bang go the shots,
a timely reminder the doors to be locked.
Stranger lurks at night.
What a terrible time. 
Everyone just fights.
The dogs bark wildly as they protect their grounds.
The sounds in the silence they make me frown.
It is a shame. 
I have forgotten what peace means.
It is a shame. 
Humans can be so mean.

This is a very frightening and horrible thing, this fear, the pain of having to live through this... Welcome to PoetrySoup with your poignant first poem.
