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
