Do you think that the authorities can help?
Sometimes it takes years for these things to gain the attention they deserve
For people to find the justice that they so rightfully deserve
And it is horribly unfortunate that these things can affect us in the way that they do
Without much knowledge
Without much that is able to be done to justify the wounds that have plagued us so readily
And the wounds in the future.
Crash
Into the structure
Topple it down
Make an example so others will know
Just how far they can't go
Against our nation's forces
Watch as the walls crumble
A small country's fight to prove their worth
To bring some hope to a dying community
Crumbled in the powers of the almighty elite
Clang
He throws his clock into the wall
Smashing the machine into separate parts
That fall apart
Spreading everywhere
He will not be going to work today
Or perhaps never
He will get some heroin from his dealer
And go on a little trip
Bam
The student shoots into the school
Smoke is everywhere
The loud screams
A blood-curdling cry
News reporters are stopping by
As he squints his face
To show his rage
"There is no going back," he tells himself
Smack
She falls to the ground
"Who were you talking to woman?" he yells
"Um..."
Smack
"Who?" he roars
"Nobody" she whimpers
"Are you lying to me?"
As his hands clench her throat
Hit
A full-on collision
On an intersection
In the downtown area
Hot blood is pouring out
Red gushing
Everywhere
Punch
He whacks the back again
As sweat trickles down his body
He's got to try again
Whack!
Search
Destroy
Attack
Conquer
I try to close my eyes
Drown out the noise
We are trying to survive
