Twenty Poem by jade Ni.

Twenty



TWENTY.
The lady was a joker,
she laughed inside his head,
She laughed so loud it broke him
now the lady's dead.
for twenty years he took the strain
but twenty years drove him insane,
took a gun blew out her brains,
said it helped to ease the pain.

Johnny was a teacher
one day he lost his cool,
Took down twenty children
gunned them down inside the school.
For twenty years he took the strain
but twenty years drove him insane,
Took a gun, blew out their brains,
Said he'd do it all again.

Oh Oh what's going on
reason is breaking down,
Nobody cares
Each on an island
Nobody shares.
What's going on what's going on,
Insanity is on the rise
Just look and see
anger and frustration
a reality.
what's going on, going on.

Joseph was a soldier,
fought the Vietcong.
To many nightmares broke him,
Didn't sleep at night for long.
For twenty years he took the strain
but twenty years drove him insane,
took a gun, blew out his brains,
Couldn't ride the mares again.

The young man was a student,
Not yet twenty years they say.
Blew up 20 people
on the tube one day.
for twenty years he lived the strain,
but twenty years drove him insane,
Took a bomb on board a train,
Blew them all away.
