If darkness flows from a river in the heart,<\/p>\n
Why is the blood red or blue?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If the ungodly lurks in the mind of man and woman,<\/p>\n
Why is childhood blamed for the crimes?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If emptiness fills your stomach,<\/p>\n
Why is there an appetite for destruction?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If the heart is the true killer,<\/p>\n
Why does depression bring on aggression?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Drowning sorrow in a glass of booze,<\/p>\n
Thinking you have nothing to loose,<\/p>\n
Why have you already lost yourself?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If we take the ‘D’ from ‘devil’,<\/p>\n
We’re left with ‘evil’,<\/p>\n
However, if we turn it around<\/p>\n
We’re left with ‘live’,<\/p>\n
Add the ‘D’ back in<\/p>\n
We have ‘lived’<\/p>\n
