Retaliation

Retaliation

No one knows how it got started
No one knows why it wont stop
No one likes it on the bottom
We all want to be on top
No one seems to know the reason
No one really seems to care
No one likes to be the loser
We all scream that life’s not fair
No one hears the devil laughing
No one hears the angel’s cries
No one seems to hear the cricket
All we hear are alibis
So before the earth is blackened
Before we meet our final fate
Think about how much we lose
When you retaliate
