Someone died today <br />How sad for those involved <br />Problem solved <br />According to the state <br />Calling it justice, not hate. <br />But they all have blood on their hands <br />Even if it’s the law of the land <br />Each of us, who are tax payers <br />Whether or not we’re players <br />In this game called death <br /> <br />Someone died today <br />I mourn their families lost <br />How sad the cost <br />For those who are left behind <br />What does this say of mankind. <br />Just because its law <br />It doesn’t make it right <br />Even though it’s now so trite <br />No big deal <br />When the state kill <br /> <br /> <br />Someone died today <br />But life goes on <br />Pick up the pieces until next time <br />No rhythm or rhyme <br />By those who are to preserve life <br />Going against their oath <br />What a contradiction <br />How do they face the mirror <br />Knowing they caused death <br />Instead of causing life <br /> <br />Someone died today <br />A sad day indeed <br />For all of us <br />Whether or not we made a fuss <br />What is our country coming too <br />The red white and blue <br />When we all have blood on our hands <br />Most unwilling to take a stand. <br />To fight for what is wrong <br />We’re just not made that strong <br /> <br />Someone died today <br />I’m sad for the victim <br />I can feel their family’s pain <br />It makes me want to cry <br />But an eye for an eye <br />Breeds more victims, so insane <br />Where is the closure? <br />When does the pain end? <br />Does his death make it stop? <br />Does it disappear? <br />Just because someone died today<br /><br />Lissa White<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/someone-died-today/
