One Shot, Two Shots, Three Shots, Four

One shot 
Two shots 
Three Shots 
Four... 
Bang, bang, bang, Fireworks galore 
People running shouting ''WAR!!'' 
Innocent dying its, uncalled for 
Families crying for their loved ones no longer more ... 
Babies crying dont know, what for 
Not knowing what's next instore 
People walking with fear out the door 
AND HERE I AM wanting TO shout!!! 
''NO MORE!!!!...'' 
There's much more greater things instore 
Than violence for sure, 
Think of the kids for they are our future ... 
Is this the kind of life you want for your child when he/she grows up 
I don't think so... (O_o) 
But I guess that's how it goes 
When you live in a society where gangsters comes and goes...
