They urge restraint
But it’s in blood that they paint
Their picture of the world 
And I am just a girl
Screaming into the wind
Who is to say who has sinned
In violent despair
I know it happened because I was there
The dice that they roll
What has happened to the power of soul
To resolve the pain
I look up at the rain
As it’s pouring from sky
And wonder why anyone has to die
But it’s the children, the children, I hear their cry
And I could stay silent, I could just lie
And say it’s “both sides”
But nobody hides
When the guns are in town
Everyone knows that you can drown
I’m an ocean of fear
And it is ever near
To catch a grasp
I just want you to know that I ask
The God of good to please break the spell
That has the people living in hell
As they doom a race
Of people put out of place
As the rockets fire
The situation is dire
And it can only stem the fire
To take it higher
And let the pain go
I’ve a responsibility to speak, so
As a writer the flame 
Will issue from my name
In poetry
Please, let the people, let them go free
