A Life Taken Poem by bobby kramer jr.

I can't believe they shot him
right in front of me
I turned around for one second
and the next thing that I see.
A gun pointed right at my friend
and just before I knew
the guy pulled the trigger
and back my friends head flew.
I watched as if in slow motion
as his body hit the ground
it plays in my head like a movie
him laying there, making not a sound.
I stood there for a second
just watching his blood flow
all over the pavement
and through the cracks it would go.
I sat there right next to him
and stayed there by his side
the moment I saw the gun go off
a part of me just died.
I hope the person who did this
one day will really see
they didn't just take a life
they took my friend away from me.
