Innocence Is a Battlefield

Innocence lost on the battlefield of life.
A baby born just to sink into sin.
What are we doing to ourselves, our children?
Suicide running rampant.
The bullies and the bullied.
School shootings; everyone questions why?
Why did this happen?
Open your eyes and look around at this world we live in.

Ashes to ashes.
Dust to dust.
Soon there will be no more us...
