The Silent War

The Silent War

Too bad we couldn't see
We have become so blind
Maybe we should stop staring at the sun
We may well be blinded forever
I know I should never say never
But if there is no anticipation
For this hateful crime that takes place
It has occurred to even the most known faces
This lack of discretion, has made all go blind
Blind from the disgusting truth of it all
More hearts would be broken
Remorse turning into indignity
And when the suns light burns out
What is going to blind us next?
How can you not notice your loved ones weeps turn to shouts
And yet we worry about such ridiculous things
We are all guilty
We are all responsible for these killings
For we are the generation
Destroying our own teen nation

The â??Silent War between our bodies and other people
Divided we stand, our backs turned to one another
Racism, acceptance, and our friends almost forcing to do all these drugs
Turning innocent people against themselves
Friends killing each other by saying, try this, or try that
Friends killing themselves saying,goodbye this, goodbye that
How can any of us standby and watch, thinking, I never saw it coming
Our sunlight, is burning out
There is only one thing left to blame
All this suicide taking lives and taking fame to a new fashion
No one is willing; no one will stand out and make one voice be heard
To try and save our nation from this mortification
No one is safe
No one is innocent
We all have been proven guilty
And the punishment is fatality
