stray bullet

it was on New Year's eve
when the clock strike quarter to twelve
everybody had gone out of their houses
to greet the new year ahead

there was this girl so happy
witnessing fireworks with her family
then suddenly she fainted
and they thought it was just from the smoke she inhaled

when her father picked her up
they were shock to see
there's blood gushing down on her face
no doubt she was hit by a stray bullet

operation was not an option
for her brain would spill out
the damage was too much
only time can tell when her light would run out

only few days she stay
and she was taken away
by her loving Creator
where in His arms she'll be secure

only if she stayed inside
then she would be still enjoying her life
excelling in school and dreaming of her future
and bringing home medals from her adventures

.....OH,God Bless Her Soul!...

what is it in us people
to act so carelessly
not minding what will happen
with the stupid action taken

in this world we're living
life is only easy for taking
and it's so sad that it was taken this way
instead of being taken naturally
