Mercy<br />
Sirens scream in the distance<br />
4 am and I'm screaming because we missed it<br />
America the brave<br />
The mighty and the fallen<br />
Doesn't see the point<br />
The back story<br />
Of gun control<br />
And bad patrol<br />
Or the devastating fact that<br />
Guns need controlling<br />
The news stories are always rolling<br />
That a secure America<br />
Has turned into insecure, rash acts<br />
Of selfish self-believers who seem to think that they're this or that<br />
Of people so out of it they'll take the risk<br />
And, in THIS America,<br />
Likely perish<br />
I'm screaming as the sirens wail<br />
That children are sleeping<br />
But America's not well<br />
And I wonder what it will be 5, 10 years from now<br />
If America will rise up<br />
Or be selfishly endowed<br />
with the entitled and the invalids,<br />
Despondent alike<br />
And this lack of hope<br />
This lack of drive<br />
Stopped producing Americans<br />
And created convoluted criminals<br />
Biased and judgmental<br />
And at the end of the day,<br />
Refusing to step up and make a change<br />
