I can’t afford it
He tells his wife to be.
She says nothing
Her future she can for see.
Diamonds and elaborate gifts
Probably not a possibility.
Shopping malls replaced with thrift’s.
She tells him it’s all right
Her future maybe not so bright.
However, her love to him she commits
Even though he can’t afford it.

There’s no love in your heart
Sorrow you do not believe
Empathy is far-gone
You’ve become cold. Thirsty
Thirsty for blood
And the money it brings
You kill for it
Souls of the innocent
Taken to the heavens
While you collect for the deed
Their innocent faces
Never cross your mind
Innocent pleas for life
You never replay
Never thoughts of them
No remorse for what you have done
