This is the world we live in
Petty squabbles tear us apart
The young are ignored or condemned
The old are ignored or condemned
We have lost control
This is the world we live in
Bodies not cold yet the calls begin
Calls for vengeance and bloodshed
Demands for answers to unanswerable questions
History has been rewritten today
No one will care in a week
This is the world we live in
Our leaders offer thoughts and prayers
They do not offer answers
