Family Crisis

You were warned, now it's too late

This is going to be the families fate


She is here

He is no where to be found

This is her biggest fear

He doesn't want to be duty bound


This family is falling apart

They said this would be the downfall

Take these words to heart

There is no light at the end of this hall


The father is never there

The mother hasn't seen him for days

The son doesn't care

The daughter wants to die but knows no ways


I don't care if my words are blunt

You have got to learn

Will you get up and hunt?

Or just sit there and burn?


He roams the streets at night

He is not scared

When he goes home, she gets a fright

Just his face was spared


Now he is laying on a hospital bed

She thinks it is better this way

He would rather be dead

But she is forcing him to stay


She thinks she is smart

But it is her he has started to despise

She doesn't notice that he will soon depart

He will find some other way to meet his demise


Discord spreads like a cancer

But she doesn't believe him

He would like nothing more than to hurt her

But he doesn't have the balls to


He is looking for a sign

Just then, he finds his fathers gun

He drinks a bottle of wine

He knows what must be done


He prepares himself

Loads the gun

Puts it to his head

Pulls the trigger

All that suffering ended in a heartbeat

Now he is dead

There is no bringing him back


Why do people have to die before you change?

Another innocent life has been ended

Is family union just too far for change?

Has your family still not mended?


There is a crisis in your family

When you treat your brother like he is the enemy
