Who's the Victim

Contributed by evolon on Monday, 10th July 2006 @ 08:53:47 PM in AEST
Topic: AmericanTragedy

Who’s the victim
Little boy shot
7yrs old in the middle of the block
The loudest talking neighborhood
But quiet when the cops…..

Enter the scene
Not a word spoken, nothing seen?
Everyone in disbelief
A mother on knees
My soul unease from her screams

Caught by some thugs bullet
A youth taken away
A broken family is consoled in their dismay
A drug war, gang violence, or just a random act?
Teddy bears and candle, a father holds back…..

His tears
Family cries for witness, seems no one cares
Mrs. Ida, sit on the stoop every day
Wont speak in fear
This street is filled with kids!
he couldn’t have been the only one there

Curtains start closing doors begin to shut
All this? And for what?
A passer by tells me “ we keep our mouths shut”

How did it get to this position?
I read his t-shirt.. ”stop snitch’n”
(he say’s) no one wants to be known as a snitch or a rat
This is a life !
Words can catch the killer but never bring him back

(my final plea)
You don’t have to snitch, but please “TELL”
Next time could be your tears
As people watch you plead and yell!
