look.
look at what you've done.
look at the blood dripping from her wrist, look at the razor in her hand.
look at the noose around his neck
and look at the gun locked and loaded.

now look.
look in the mirror.
look who caused this.
look at what you said, look and see if your "little joke" was funny.

and look.
look, if you're able to, at the tears in a mothers eyes as she buries her beloved child.
look at the life cut short, never to be lived. look at the lost years.
look at the lost soul in the casket.
look.
look and see if anyone is laughing now.
look.

and now that you've had your look...
do you see?
