Silent Voices
If only life could be cast aside
In anticipation of a better day
But life is not something to put on hold
It isn’t something to throw away.

We all take too many chances
And don’t seem to understand that we
Are simply not invincible-too young
Or too blind to see?

Just one night of ‘fun’
It could lead to death
Could have the time of your life
Or watch a friend take their last breath.

We don’t think it could be our
Last week or day or hour
We are insignificant
A higher force holds power.

We are just pieces
Players of the game
There for his entertainment
But not all treated the same.

He does not care about us
Doesn’t hear us cry or shout
Silent Voices fading into the night
Is that what this life is all about?
