A MOTHER'S PRAYER
Cry like an angel
Tears flowing like a veil
A head hung in shame
Nightmare from Hell

A schoolyard in the background
Bullets all around
They scream in confusion
As friends fall to the ground

Blood flowing like a river
Innocence lost
This is no heavenly surrender
A child's life is the cost

He stands amid the chaos
Devil's weapon in his grip
Tears flowing from empty eyes
Powder burns on his hand

What drove this child to do this?
What could his purpose be?
Mother's hearts are breaking
Won't someone answer me?
