You rejected our society, so you killed our people and hid like the coward you are.

When did you determine that his or her life was not worth living?

Didn't you know that little children would lay awake and cry and ask for their mommies and daddies?

Didn't you know that a mother or a father who had raised their children would asky why?

Didn't you know that the best friend that I ever had wouldn't be sharing their laughter, their smile and love with me?

Didn't you know that society had not rejected them, and that they were ours, and we loved them? 

Whether or not we knew them, that was not the question because they were apart of us and we were apart of them long before you decided to reject them.
