Learn

I turned on the TV,
the news is on.
There has been another bombing,
Why can’t they,
learn?

You want to threaten people
but what is this got to do with them?
You’d destroyed those innocent lives,
are you happy now?

Blood and tears are all around,
did that sight thrill you?
thrill you?

You pulled out that dangerous weapon
and you heard those screams.
But that did not stop you from firing,
why can’t you,
Learn?

They were having a holiday
and they surrendered.
Why must you ruin it for them?
Are you happy now?

Screams and cries fill the air,
did those noises thrill you?
Thrill you?

Why can’t they learn?
Why can’t you learn?
