~ Ripped ~

Raped, Ripped, Robbed,

Witnessing the powers of the devil alive,

Raped, Ripped, Robbed

feeling your soul die

as you mourn and cry

to say good-bye to a life

that you long to escape,

Raped, Ripped, Robbed,

I often ask myself and wonder why,

we cannot find a way to compromise?

Keeping our eyes open to what

cannot be denied, about the sins

that stand before our lives,

Raped, Ripped, Robbed,

I often ask myself and wonder why,

we cannot find a way

to compromise?

Why can't we come to realize

the powers of love in our lives,

Raped, Ripped, Robbed,

I often ask myself and wonder why?

Raped, Ripped, Robbed!

I've been writing as long as I could hold a crayon! Remember writing my first story like it was yesterday at 5. I remember the details of the day, location, time, excitement & where the story was preserved for all time! Lots Born From That!
