Why weren’t they saved?
Hello
Good morning
I said “Good morning”
You said nothing
Nothing at all?
Nothing
Nothing
None
Zero
Zilch
Nothing
A state of non-being
A state of non-existence
A state of lost
Lost
Lost in my mind
Lost in time
Lost of a life
A life held down by prejudice
People are the cause of the words
Words that cut too deep
Making other lose-
Minds make thought
Make actions
Make living a H3ll
Chained down by ignorance
There’s only one escape
There’s only one shot
That escapes the gun
Entering the child’s brain
Ending of another life
A life that could’ve been saved
Why wasn’t it saved?
Everyone’s pointing blame
Blame it on the parent who were too hard on him
Blame on the store who sold him the weapon
Blame it on the child for not taking life
Seriously can’t you understand?
The hurt he was in
The pain that drove him to the edge
Edge of a bridge
A young girl stands
Looking down
Looked down on for holding another girl’s
Heart, two hearts be fast
As the two girls take hands
And release the railing
Ending of another two lives
Two lives that could’ve been saved
Why weren’t they saved?
Of the ignorance and the bullying
The sneers and the words
Words smash hurter than stick and stones
Are you getting the picture?
A picture is held in trembling hands
Then casted to the grave
Of a 17 year of boy
Who’s gone before his time
Because of the violence
Violence inflicted by the riot
Riot of people who couldn’t remain quiet
As the two boys held hands
As the two boys kissed
Kissed one last time
As the crowd did more than shout
They ended the 17 year old’s life
A life that could’ve been saved
Why wasn’t it saved?
Who would’ve put the crowd to
Silence is the only thing heard
In the woods at noon
As the girl scribbles in her spiral notebook
Her last good byes
Tears fall from her eyes
Rolling down her face
Splashing to the page
That says “I’m sorry” a million times
But the words had been too much
The teases and the jeers
A girl can only take so much
So she takes the knife
That she’s already done so much damage to her arms
With a shaky hand
It’s brought forward
Drops of red littering the page now
Ending of another life
A life that could’ve been saved
Why wasn’t it saved?
Because of the words
Because of the stupidity of people
Who can’t seem to grasp
Words hurt
Words are powerful
Powerful enough to drive
Drive off a cliff
Another life taken
Taken to the hospital
A girl screams and then flat lines
Too many pills
Are taken by the parents to cope
Alcohol becomes frequent
As does the bruises of the second child
Standing too close
Close to the edge
Of a building window
Staring at the cops below
“Don’t jump”
But it’s too late
Ending of another life
A life that could’ve been saved
Had the words been in place
Had a hand been offered
Offered to the girl crying in the stalls
How many lives must we torment
Before we realize the words
Speak louder than actions for some
Some looking down from Heaven now
A friend kneels at a grave
Hello
Good morning
Hello?
The friend cries setting down the rose
I said good morning
“You said nothing”
Nothing at all?
“Nothing
I wish you would’ve told me
I wish I could’ve saved you
Why weren’t you saved?”
