LOOK IN THE GARDEN

Look in the garden and remember the children
shot down for nothing as they went through the day
look at the mother, as she runs to protect them
laid down her life so they could live today

What about the children
what about the love
the families and the loved ones
what were they thinking of
What about the the children, that started all the tears
they also ruined their own loves
their actions brought the fear, and now what is the answer now that they pulled the trigger?


the reasons don't matter
could we feel any sadder?
as they fired the shots that destroyed all the dreams
they wanted to 'get even'
look at all the lives they shattered
the end of the road not clear so it seems

What about the children
what about the love
the families and the loved ones
what were they thinking of
What about the the children, that started all the tears
they also ruined their own loves
their actions brought the fear, and now what is the answer now that they pulled the trigger?


look in the windows, the silence is so loud
look in the schoolyard, where once she walked so proud
the lady saw and acted, to save on who could die
soon she was a 'hero'
a good reason to cry....
