THERE IS NO BEAUTY WITH KNIVES

 

THERE IS NO BEAUTY WITH KNIVES

There is no beauty in knives

They destroy lives

They destroy families

They destroy communities

The fire and desire

The hatred and debate

The debates must end

The actions must now be taken

Imprisonment kind of works

But that is a place where they worship evil intent

Intent on the innocent

The innocent bystander and bystanders

Going about their own business and businesses

You swing them to the left and right

Scaring innocence, innocent with fright

They try with all their might

To stop you!

But you are determined

You are strong-minded

Unwavering

Single-minded

You are unswerving

You are obsessed

Possessed

You are resolute

You want the finale

The lost lives

The injured lives

But we try and stand strong

Strong-willed

Unswerving

We try not live in fear

But we shed many tears

What is going through your minds?

Hell bent on scoring a score?

Well it will be your undone

When we have won

And you are no longer one

Your time is coming

It is just a matter of timing

When we cheer so loudly

Not proudly

Just that justice will be done
