Redemption Over, Forgiveness Denied

There is a Facebook page called BULLYCIDE, a campaign to try to end bullying in all forms. They ran a poetry competition about 3 years ago on their page and I had the unenviable task of judging it. Then, the winner was turned into a song by me which then became the pages' theme tune...this is the winning poem. Redemption Over, Forgiveness Denied A broken child or a helpless teen An empty place inside when hope might have been A bully scorned, a crowd that hates No one to turn to now, it's far too late Actions taken, never justified It doesn't matter how many tears are cried Redemption over, forgiveness denied The person you tortured chose death over life You took advantage of a damaged soul Destruction of innocence, an empty goal You never thought that my child's fragile heart Would cease to beat forever once you did your part Actions taken, never justified It doesn't matter how many tears are cried Redemption over, forgiveness denied The person you tortured chose death over life Don't ask for forgiveness, it's not mine to give You took my child's life, it's unfair that you still live All I have are memories, the potential gone too soon You are tied to me forever by a thread I'd rather burn Actions taken, never justified It doesn't matter how many tears are cried Redemption over, forgiveness denied The person you tortured chose death over life My child was dearly loved, their memory remain You may have been the one who made them break beneath the pain But the fight against Bullycide grows stronger everyday And your name unimportant now will slowly fade away Actions taken, never justified It doesn't matter how many tears are cried Redemption over, forgiveness denied The person you tortured chose death over life
