Tragedy Strikes
Tragedy strikes in a blink of an eye.
Someone who’d thought would not die.
Don’t know how to cry?
Asking the question why?
Seeing one grow up
With there death not even half its life!
Living here, living there
Everywhere but near!
Never having that fear, nor shedding a tear!
With daddy gone
Temptation arose to do wrong!
And not before long
A smack hit there face
What a disgrace!
Day after day without the stuff
Putting on a total bluff
While lying down at night putting up a fight
Mother in such pain
What is there to gain?
Knowing that her kids will never be the same!
Time had come,
it was too late
Death was his doom
Up in that lonely room!
Rest in peace TITO
