I lost my son

He was only 6 years old

6 years and his body has already turned to mold

How bold is thy weapon,

To cause such a thing.

I lost my my daughter

She was 18 years old

Eyes full of lambent opportunities

The future holding her world,

And that world was heaven.

I lost my brother

He was 20 years old

A man of great ambition

He knew the meaning of sacrifice,

And knew the lions from the hyena's.

When they took him to his grave.

I could only stare with eyes of hatred,

And a mask of many smiles.

I lost my mother

Her age doesn't need to be known

For her death is enough

She has taught the way, the truth and the life.

When she was carried to her resting place

Alleluia was her song in silence.

See we feel many tears fight our emotions

And they stab us.

We bleed silver,

With knife wounds of brutal gladness.

But where is the rejoice in it?

Aren't you glad now that you're family is safe?

No? You want to take a life?

For what?

For your family?

Why does your deceased beloveds have to be apart of your wrath?

This is not what they want.

You carry this gun that is stained with emotions

And mark it with your ancestors.

You call upon a greater power to turn your mind out of reality

And into hell

Stop this.

Come here and let me hold you

It shall be fine

Because within time

You'll realize

Revenge is an uprooted rose
