"Senseless Killings" part 2

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD THESE DAYS? EVERYBODY IS SHOOTING AN INNOCENT VICTIM IN EVERY KIND OF WAY THAT IS NEVER A MISTAKE FIGHTING OVER TERRITORY THAT WASN'T THEIRS IN THE FIRST PLACE DON'T THE SUSPECTS HAVE ANY FEELINGS FOR THE INNOCENT VICTIMS DON'T THE SUSPECTS HAVE ANY CONSCIENCE REACTION I'M SO SICK OF LOOKING AT THE NEWS AND SEEING BLACK PEOPLE KILLING EACH OTHER OVER NO APPARENT REASON BECAUSE THEY MISSED THEIR INTENDED TARGET NOT KNOWING BULLETS DON'T HAVE A CORRECT LOCATION THEY LAND AT THEY FALL LIKE RAINDROPS INSIDE OF PEOPLE'S HEARTS I GUESS IT SEEMS GOOD TO THE PEOPLE THAT SHOOTS AN INNOCENT VICTIM NOW THE INNOCENTS HAVE TO REST IN PEACE KNOWING THAT THEIR SUSPECTS MIGHT GO FREE SHOOTING PEOPLE DON'T MAKE YOU BAD IT MAKES YOUR ACTIONS LOOK SAD IT JUST MAKES YOU A COWARD THINKING NOBODY CAN STOP YOU PEOPLE JUST TRYING TO GET BY IN LIFE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT SOME HATER TRYING TO TAKE THEIR LIFE KNOWING THAT THEY CAN'T LIVE LIFE TWICE I WISH THIS WORLD DIDN'T HAVE GUNS BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL THINKING THEY GOT THE POWER JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GUN IN THEIR HANDS LETTING THEIR GUN SPEAK FOR THEM ONE DAY THEY ARE GOING TO END UP DEAD AND SEE HOW IT FEELS AND LOOK DOWN AND SEE THEIR FAMILY SUFFER AND BE SAD I JUST WISH ALL PEOPLE CAN GET ALONG INSTEAD OF SHOOTING EACH OTHER AND LITTLE KIDS I WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING GOOD ON THE NEWS FOR ONCE YOU FEEL ME? I DON'T THINK BLACK PEOPLE ARE EVER GOING TO CHANGE THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO IT SEEMS BUT TO ACT LIKE THEY TOUGH AND ROUGH IN FRONT OF THEIR BOYS BECAUSE OF A REPUTATION IN THE STREETS THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE FAMILIES OF THE DEAD SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE SAID SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WE AS A PEOPLE OF STRENGTH CAN'T KEEP ALLOWING VIOLENCE TO BE LIKE A BATTLEFIELD BULLETS ARE LIKE MINES EXPLOSIVE WITHOUT BEING UNDERGROUND VIOLENCE DOESN'T HAVE A SET DESTINATION, A SET BLOCK, A SET CORNER, A SET INTERSECTION VIOLENCE IS IN ALL 50 STATES SENSELESS KILLINGS IS IN EVERY BACKYARD IT DOESN'T HAVE A END BUT IT ALWAYS HAS A START
