Terrible Things

Sometimes terrible things just happen, The worst you can imagine, A nightmare coming real, The fear you wished never to feel, Sometimes we just don’t have a choice, At times no one hears our voice, Our cry for help falls on deaf ears, Things fall apart after many years, There’s no excuse no reason why, It’s never fair for one to die, It’s never right to break a heart, Families should never break apart, A child should never be abandoned, No one should break the 5th commandment, The young should never feel ashamed, The wild in us should not be tamed. But It happens everyday, In a whole myriad of ways, We shouldn’t let it kill our passion, Sometimes terrible things just happen.
