Think About It

I awoke with a start and looked all around
I found nothing stirring, to go with the sound
I looked through my window, ugly with bars
I look toward the sky, without any stars

Sleep had left me, through the darkness I stared
Left my mind wonder, as much as I dared
I remember sthe times when there was no fear
No need for protection, when someone came near

I remember , but vaguely a prayer in the school
Was his name God? or am I just a fool
There was also a flag and a pledge of support
That also disappeared, with the help of the court

There's that sound again, it seems outside
"AH" it's good I know , to be inside
His voice I can hear"Let in, please help me"
" I've been stabbed in the back, Someone ,please help me"

You're a fool ,my man you cry on deaf ears
No one helps anyone, for years and years
Now , it's quiet outside, he must be dead
To go outside at night, he was crazy in the head

Who does one turn to,at a time like now
When to exist is a problem, of just plain how
There must be someone, far or near to this sod
"AH Yes, now I remember
IT'S GOD," ..... "GOD" ....."GOD"
