Weep by Sam Hackel-Butt

**I'm not sure if i want to keep it as a poem, or make it into a song. Hmm, decisions decisions. Not sure of a title either, so i'll put it as Weep.**

Weep for the child whose life was taken.
Who was found on the sidewalk.
Cry for the child, whose mother never knew
What became of her baby boy.

Shiver for the child, who came from a broken home,
And left to escape the broken hearts.
Bawl for the child, who never knew loves warmth,
Who never tasted the sweetness of life.

Shout to the heavens, for some sort of answer,
For an answer to why this is done.
For we know we will never understand
Without a guiding star
To lead us through the fog.

Laugh for the child whose finally found some worth
In the arms of an angel, he smiles.
Reach for the child who’s trapped within us
To free him from the prison bonds.

Dance in the streets with joy,
Live our lives to the brim,
Smile for those who can’t.
And laugh for those who won’t.

And sing to the heavens,
And sing with your heart,
Let its amusement flow through your veins
As you dance in the rain.

Shout to the heavens, for some sort of answer,
For an answer to why this is done.
For we know we will never, understand
Without a guiding star
To lead us through the fog.

Scream at the top of your lungs.
The mother has found her baby boy.
He never left home, never left her sight,
He was found in her heart.

So at the funeral day, then the burial,
The boy lived yet again.
With the light of love, strong on his face,
His father finally came home.
The irony that it took his life
To gain what he always yearned for.

So, Shout to the heavens, for some sort of answer,
For an answer to why this is done.
For we know we will never understand
Without a guiding star
To lead us through the fog.
