|
I tried so hard to find solace. |
|
Instead I found discomfort. |
|
I had one chance to learn from |
|
Mistakes I made |
|
One more decision |
|
That will come to haunt me. |
|
Resort to violence |
|
And it will get hard to see |
|
Through the eyes of |
|
An unsuspecting victim. |
|
Blinded by fear |
|
And prejudice. |
|
I failed to see you bleeding |
|
In my foolish state. |
|
I failed to find a problem |
|
In my ignorant stage. |
|
It was such a tragic tale |
|
Of your aggression |
|
That you entrenched yourself |
|
With a gun. |
|
I tried so hard to choose a path, |
|
To make things right and prosperous. |
|
I'll raise the banner |
|
Against intolerance. |
|
I'll fight against those who |
|
Preach ignorance. |
|
A culture of horrors, |
|
A nation led by fear. |
|
It must cease to be, |
|
Or we are doomed. |
|
We must walk the |
|
Path to enlightenment, |
|
But yet you are so unwilling. |
|
If you don't give, |
|
If you don't acquiesce; |
|
We are destined, |
|
Destined to repeat our mistakes. |
