I'M Alive To Say It Kills Me

I'm tired of the "needing",
To be killing anybody.
I'm tired of injustice,
And the shooting, and the stabbing.
I'm tired of what is,
And has been happening.

She was just a woman,
Working for another dollar.
He thought to kill someone;
Many will not see tomorrow.

I'm tired of it too. Thanks for sharing J.T. I really hope things get better. They will someday, but I would wish the sooner the better. Love always, Laura

I really like this , the message it expresses in such a simple honest way. It's all too sad.
