If Only

The sound of music was too loud Though he shouted aloud Nobody heard him Everyone was absorbed in the music Some wiggling and others break dancing Screaming and shrieking with laughter Not knowing what was happening in the nearby bush Gasping for air as they slowly suffocated him Him all tied up by a halter "God where are you?", he kept crying A son of the long gone parents Trying to meet ends of life Yet life playing a roller coaster with him Hustling with him as if he is part of the gambling cards With a few dollars in his pockets They were trying to put out his eyeballs from his sockets All he was doing was an act of kindness He saw them lurking in the bush Like a lion waiting for its prey The poor girl walking towards them unknowingly The scream that she gave, Forced him to check on the girl He couldn't withstand them molesting the innocent girl If only they could turn down the music And come to rescue him
