To Turn
October 11, 2013
They cried out to me
To protect my world from harm
Murder for safety
I dared not question
As they handed me the gun
And some bullets too
With a push and shove
I accepted the duty
And rose to protect
Sent out to the world
With some bullets and a gun
It wasn’t for long
I was met with hate
Crimson rain in silent storm
Such force in their eyes
They cried out to me
To protect my world from harm
Murder for safety
