Forecast

What is on the news today 
All the things they say
People lost and crying. 
Tears are no longer drying 
The forecast is calling for pain
What you grab is what you gain 
Who is winning  who has lost
All hearts have turned to frost
People fighting in the street
Looters adding to the heat
Times are getting bad
People are feeling so bad.
Nobody to care
All caught up in the snare
Of lawlessness of the law
They can't hide what everyone saw
Running wild is so much hate
Rely hoped that wouldn't be our fate
Maybe too late
Will nobody try
Will we all in turn, die
No longer able to cry
Days to come soon
Can't see the moon
Fire so bright
No one cares whats right
Nor care that all is wrong
Right takes to long
