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
