Your soul dyed Black and Blue By ###Annie### .. Grade 7, Pennsylvania Blood is shed Tears still fall I can’t pretend To cover it all Emotion pours Like water in a vase But I can’t force You to hate this place But after you witness The alarming facts They’re won’t be more forgiveness You won’t just sit there and relax You’ll want to cease their vile ways Without a second doubt And with a swoop your fist sways But there are other ways to work it out You won’t listen because you’ve left To find the culprit, you’ve flee To beat the man guilty of theft Just as he did to me Won’t that make you as bad as him? I simply tried to persuade Cuz I don’t want you out on that limb I know you aren’t that way Fighting hasn’t solved Anything so far It’s made tears and blood evolve Causing ideas of war There are other ways Just as I’ve said before Instead of beating someone’s face Until they hit the floor The monstrosity you have become Is tearing us apart Your revenge will now become An illegal work of art To him, you are a criminal Just as he is to you Your honest ways turned immoral Your soul dyed black and blue Don’t you see a pattern here? Beneath the anger you have mixed There is no problem anywhere That ruthless fighting can fix
