beyond the numbers

I just don't get it
all this good will toward everyone
inspired by horrific deeds
and following other's leads
hopping on that bandwagon
"I'll be nice too, cause
everyone is doing it" but
I think you're all nut....s

Does someone have to die
disappearing to the sky
for you to stop this lie
and care?

Is it honestly so hard
to give that starving bard
a measly little shard
of care?

Or does he have to die
for you to even try
to close your eyes and cry
and care?

What makes you believe
that life never deceives
so you never conceive
a care?

And now that it has happened
try to remember what happened
don't ever forget what happened

in one bloody month.
