Death Sentence

It's always sad & sorrowful when someone is taking so young from this world whether it be murder or rape victims children that disappeared years ago missing it's sickening but...it's the world we live in yeah I know death is a given but when it's taken from the youth it's a tragedy a travesty so every life that's lost...it feels like I... knew them personally like one of my own family you see I wear my emotions on my sleeves so tell me while you're reading my facial expression...what do you see can you see it the anger hatred & turmoil as a people how far we've fallen tell me who's gonna catch us I know we live reckless oh Lord but please have mercy on this nation yes we are waiting to be taken from this place and I can relate I lost a few comrades it's like we writing off our own fate when we let this world consume us because we grew up with single mothers & dads it's a sad site and we in the fight of our life to stay alive overcome the temptations of hardships and wanting to commit suicide or be a homicide victim so I beg of you oh Lord throw us down some comfort help us to rebuke the demons help us to never overlook repentance so that you never hear our prayers talking about yet another death sentence
