Buried

As I am reminded, I look around I think the many been buried in time Only I see elders standing full crowd Buried deep in ground we lay them Buried deep our souls we keep them The young,so vibrant with ambition Killing themselves like society kills the world Drugs,guns, even that of sex is deadly A thrill to live, just to breathe Innocent robbed of their youthfulness Their ways are young as them days we've seen Where is it we went wrong or do they care Our teachings we fail holding tight a dream Not ourselves we pray but of life them to live Buried,our eyes closed in darkness Tears of pain run like a river flow What is it we learn except of death As we carry to grave a love one past A bright young youth buried under the grass
