At the End of the Day most people I know took the Va. Tech scene in stride..It Upset me.So I feel the least I could do for the people involved is write a Poem.


OWED


(For all involved in the Va. Tech Rampage)



They say tomorrow is not Promised


but armed with Life


Time owes


given life’s woes!


Time owed


youth years


poor parents pain


Will Never forget the


Debt.


The only ones who’ll remember their name


And the Love that was stolen away.


Life is a Fulltime Job



Ducking an Dodging Life’s Scars


Youth


tirelessly scraping old Rust off broken failed gears


from the past generations Tears.


Hiding their Dreams from commercialisms escape


Politicians rape


No Education if you can’t Pay.


Hiding their Dreams deep from natures anger, floods and earth quakes..


hiding from Wars


one at their backdoor


the other kicking in the Front



people going ballistic


It ain’t 2POC-Apocalyptic


It’s Apocalyptic


Neuroliptic


Sadistic


Cryptic


Nothing Borrowed


But owed


They say tomorrow is not Promised


but armed with Life


Time owed youth years.



Tomorrows newborn Cry Clenched in their fist Eternal



Stillborn



not Breathing.



One Breath



One Breath


Eternally drowned in blood and Youths Grace



Life is a Full time Job


Ducking an Dodging life’s scars



 


One breath get’s you in this Race


One Breath get’s you out


The other breath


Condemned to see Deaths Face.


The one that makes you leave this Place.



A Death sentence


by one who lived behind blind Whispers and could not see


Listened only to deaths silent song and could not hear


Any other



Cowardly Gone


Pouted reality wronged


Cheated a struggle


Cheated Life’s


Rumble



Cheated time



Checked out


While Society Crumbles.



Cheated Time


Spit in it’s face



an Handcuffed


IT’S HANDS


robbing youths Grace.


Nothing Borrowed


But owed


owed


To the ones who believed in Tomorrow.

This tragedy can only be prevented if we "Let Evil Lose"
I wrote this in the only way I know to retaliate...
Check it out...it takes another angle that I hope could help...

Love and Peace~
