Words
Words can only say so much
Paint can only go so far
Music can only penetrate
The ear of those willing to hear.
So what do we call on to bring a fight
To stop the senseless killing of boys afar
How to we get the world to hear
We’re sorry for stepping in to volunteer
Eventually its all been heard before
And words cannot penetrate broken ears
Paint can not startle overexposed eyes
Music cannot express
The sorrow or pain or cluelessness we feel
Even those who want to express
Can no longer feel the pain
That they once felt before
The years have passed and every person is a statistic
Forgotten and lost
Words can only say so much
Pictures even more
But it’s very hard to impact so much
When we’ve seen it all before.
