Heart Break
Three shootings in a single week,
I can hear every American heart weep.
With every story and post I read,
I can feel my heart’s endless bleed.
Every story sounds the same,
Our own country is to blame.
Trust in the police force fades,
As smoke from a silent grenade.
I pray change will soon arrive,
And shine through like sunshine.
We need our system upgraded,
Our view of society is outdated.
It’s time for change and restoration,
Put a halt on selfish expectations.
A country only grows if we step together,
Alone we fall as leaves in windy weather.
