I don't like what you've done

I don't like what you've done 
you frighten me an yet a part 
of me wants you safe an ailing 
person filled with regret remorse 
or maybe neither do you wonder 
the last breath of your victims 
have you prayed begged for 
forgiveness I begged God to 
forgive me for having ears 
to hear eyes to witness 
your murders seeking solace 
for peace I pray for comfort 
from wearing wires for the 
Fbi pregnant buying weapons 
and drugs from corrupt officers 
selling drugs for corruption 
and gang leaders I kneèl in the 
chapel and I heard the lord 
saying but he knew elderly 
sick persons were confined 
to breathing machines when 
a mushroom cloud of smoke 
covered them he knew 
a homeless man lay sleeping 
on the floor an yet he took 
their lives he knew the young 
mother walked away he shot 
her in the back he shot again 
missing her head I pray for you 
only because you are here to 
murder me again and again 
after the car bomb failed 
you hired corruption to slander 
me an extort my american poetry 
I asked God should i pray for you 
are you forgiven he said you are 
not human animals are never forgiven 
for killing prey it's in your nature
