I Look

I Look

I look around me

At the bloody battlefield we've created

And wonder…why?

Why must we kill the innocent to get the guilty?

Why do we murder the good to kill the evil?

I look inside myself

At what is supposed to be me

And I see things that should not be

I see a little girl huddled in a corner of my mind, screaming for me to stop

I see a dark figure, standing tall, calmly telling me to go on and kill, as he tries to shut the little girl up for good

I look at my friends

Into their fear filled eyes

And wonder if it's happening to them too

If the good in them is fighting the evil and losing

If they no longer feel the innocents only a child can feel
