Did We
DID WE?
Did we
Or do we?
Lose another today,
Of one who cried,
Another despaired,
Of one caught in a mindless trap,
Or felt all hope disappear
From someone who played the game,
And like receding tides
Emotions drift in and out,
And of those who look upon
But don’t understand,
The inner turmoil thoughts inside,
Of a warrior’s war
And their dance with demons of their past,
And for those who’re responsible
Have they played their part,
In helping recompense a just cause
And given hope to another today,
Or did we?
Or do we?
Lose another today.
I hope not
To hear their cry.
