The Mournful Did Fall
Life is fleeting for some
longevity comes to a few
we pray we die from old age
not as children, attending our schools
People ran down, in the streets
while others are shot, in our stores
nightclubs, theaters and parks
nowhere is safe, anymore
Moments turn into hours
not knowing, is worst of it all
as they read the names of the victims
on their knees, the mournful did fall
