Seeing Through
the Eyes

Seeing through the eyes of our generation
may just cause the right realization,
that we are human just like you and we deserve respect too.
So try to see it from our point of view.

Today we believe in peace on our earth,
united forever through time.
But there are others who feel they
are greater or better than all other kinds.
For every life taken there is a griever.

It will end tonight.

Every tear that falls,
every scream that shatters the silent night.
Everyone who calls out for someone in fright.
Every gleaming knife.
Every rifle shot.
Every single life.
That is not…Right.
End their “pain” some way is all they can think about.
It’ll end tonight.
