About the 5-yr. old boy getting killed by a policeman's stray bullet. Policeman's POV. |
EXPLANATION: If you haven't seen the article, in August 2007, a policeman was trying to shoot a snake from a tree and a stray bullet killed a 5 year old fishing with his grandfather. I wrote this when I was crying for the little boy, and for the guilt that the policeman must be going through. This is his (the policeman's) point of view. --------------------------------------- I’m so sorry Never meant for it to be Had a son of my own Tried to kill the threat Killed the innocence instead Never meant for it to be Never meant for it to be this way Never meant to destroy What I sought to protect Please Please help him Into heaven, somewhere better I’d offer my life For his in an exchange Never meant for it to happen If I could make it change I would I would erase time Erase me Give back the innocence Turn back the time An innocence is gone So is mine Help Help me help him Never meant for it to be like this Never meant for anything but to kill the threat Just an innocent An onlooker Died today Died because of me Turn back time Turn back me Erase me if you have to If erasing me means saving him Please Please help him Never meant for it to be this way So if I can ask for this Please erase me Please let him live again Please help me undo what I have done Help me erase the lost innocence Take my life in forfeit Take my plea Accept my broken down apologies and Use my life as currency for the clocks Turn back the time and save the life Save the innocence.
