Sunflowers and Ceasefires

Another moment of silence another flag half mast another coffin dressed in colors life's becoming quite a drag Community garden filled with needles and tomatoes tiptoe carefully keep the eyes wide open the air is filled with bullets and smoke They covered a homeless man with a paper rosary. Monday morning, there's an empty desk at school wrong place at the wrong time-a Crayola angel died caught in the crossfire between the reds and blues grief counselor sooths but things will never be cool. A child's watching cartoons- a sudden news flash a stray bomb found a house, an entire family's dead the only thing you can do is turn the channel fast sunflowers and ceasefires never seem to last. Another moment of silence another flag half mast another coffin sprayed with tears and taps life's becoming quite a drag.
