Not the Children!!!

Lone gunman or armed commandos, it
Really makes no difference which
If you cannot respect your own life
Respect the life of a child.

Somebody let you live to get
To be the age that you are
How dare you, how dare you
Take that gift away from a child?

No matter what life has done
To you, no matter who you are
Angry with, you ought to be
Ashamed of yourself, if you even
Remember what that means.

Men often don't get along
And have not since the beginning of time
That is something that is a fact
Of this world in which we live.

But babies, innocent babies
Whether they be brand new to this
World, or whether they are teens
No matter what your provocation is
It ought not cause you to take
The life of a child.

It has been said, "You kill
My dog, I kill your cat."
No people, no
Not when your retribution
Causes you to cut short the
Life of a child.

The Lord loved children and
Made sure that we knew that
Right? Then how can you justify
The cruel and senseless act
Of terminating the life of a child?

You can't and that's a fact!

     LORD heal this world of ours
     Over which hatred looms
     And death often towers.

     Protect the world's children
     Wherever they may reside
     Keep them happy and safe
     From the calloused hatred
     That some people carry inside.

Until we meet...
