Broken Glass
Life shattered, screams of lost hope.
The cement bleeding shells falling
it so hard to cope.
The rush to death is quicker than coke.
Suffocating, tears falling while starting to choke.
I raised my hands, I said why me.
Screaming for my momma not to be a distant memory.
Darkness falls no cpr at all.
I am just fifteen officer why did you shoot me.
