The Pain You Cause Poem by Rebecca Pepper

Don’t you see it’s unfair so mean
To split a child’s peaceful family so
Have anger at what our world has been
But never kill; never commit an act so low

No excuse for the endless lives lost
No justice can ever be too much
Because you need to understand the cost
The tears and despair that was left by your touch

But you still act mighty and high
Though people suffer by your act
You make this the last goodbye
Because of the humanity you lack

Don’t you hear the screams and cries?
The terror, despair as you topple this tower
But you know not the person who dies
Do you think that gives you right to this power?

You love no one nor do they love you
You cause misery with this fear
But this is your life, this is what you do
You never notice the peace that is near

Everything you touch turns to ash
Well done you’re on the news again
You made more sorrow and now you crash
You leave in your wake a horror so insane
