Red Hot Blood

I wrote this when I was depressed...
If a smile hides a million tears
Then why am I still crying?
If the suns suppose to come out tomorrow
Then why is it still raining?
Life is full of disappointments and heartache
Picking you up when you’re down
Then throwing you face down again
Leaving you farther in despair then before
Repeating the cruel ritual that is called life
Spilling the blood of the innocent
And let the tainted blood
Boil in a hot angry mess
Salty tears spill out of the young
Mourning for their losses
While the murders stalk along the god forsaken streets
Hungry for the tear of flesh and the spill of blood
Longing to watch the life diminish in the eyes of their prey
While by-standers watch but say nothing
They are just as guilty
And deserve death
Lying to the court and letting criminals free
For what?
A new chance at life?
No
A new way to torture a soul
Young and old alike
