Why Murder?
March 19, 2010
16 years.
My life full of tears.
By ringing bullets.
Left my cousin
dead in his blood.
But I wonder
Why in my neighborhood?
I thought when I got older things were better?
No.
Not For Me.
Why it have to go down that way?
Who knows.
It sends my soul a shiver.
I heard it. "Pow!"
My cousin left dead by the trigger.
