look at faces bruised and beaten

the life you took will leave you empty

the unwanted blood it trickles down

your eyes can't see the peace you've destroyed

this life denied unseen homicide

as you took this gift from God's hands

don't take it away

souls of children

stare at you in mirrored anguish

asking why

murder - no love found

murder - without a sound

murder - in the ground

murder - God's mercy still abounds
