shots ring out, <br />sirens wail. <br />street grinders turn, <br />the gates of hell. <br />we push and shout, <br />we take and drive, <br />aint nobody <br />gonna get out alive. <br /> <br />the price of life, <br />nickels and dimes. <br />faceless souls, <br />redeem the time. <br />the weight of skin, <br />and rusted chains. <br />take a pill <br />to numb the pain. <br /> <br />life gone crazy, <br />life gone mad. <br />what they have <br />is what you had. <br />who do you own, <br />who owns you? <br />what can you say, <br />what can you do? <br /> <br />fathers bury sons, <br />and daughters weep. <br />you cannot stop, <br />you cannot sleep. <br />political lies, <br />dont feed the need. <br />another casualty, <br />of the greed. <br /> <br />go to war, <br />march to the hate. <br />you wake up guilty, <br />and it's too late. <br />you pray to god, <br />only to hear the echo. <br />carrying the mark <br />of your own sorrow. <br /> <br />life gone crazy, <br />life gone mad. <br />what they have <br />is what you had. <br />who do you own, <br />who owns you? <br />what can you say, <br />what can you do?<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-gone-crazy/
