Drive By

Some of us know What violence has to show . Senseless hate. Changing all it touchess fate. Any more, most don't care. It doesn't seem fair. They get thrown in some jail. A chance to make bail. My nephew, he didn't get another chance not to be killed by you. We still hurt this is true , This pain will never to go away, But your still alive today. We lost what was a piece of our heart Among us He is no longer a part What you took ,you can never repay. Nothing you could possibly say , Can place him back at our side. The tears we have cried. The pain, The stain, Of life without his smile, He was with us but for a little while. I see another soul was lost. Another pays the ultimate cost Can almost feel their rage. We try hard to turn this page. But I keep seeing this war hate does wage. Killing without a second glance, Doesn't ask if the victim deserves a second chance. Lost in the pain We live with this stain. Only thing I see for me to do Is not to give my soul to you. Turn my back on my own hate won't share in your fate. Let the rage go But I want you to know. The love I continue to feel You could never steal. That's for real
