Alan J Johnson was murdered when he was 14, 5 minutes from Scotland Yard in Westminster
Appearances are deceiving,
Good and evil just a lie,
Emotions and feelings,
Are just a waste of my time.
If you think about something to much,
Or don’t think about it at all,
It still leaves you empty inside,
While humanity says fuck you all.
The shit people have to put up with,
It aint just or fair,
People nowadays judged by everything,
Shoes, skin, colour of hair.
Millions dying,
Only thousands crying,
Then only 1 or 2 remember,
Like the families of those lost on the 11th of September.
Sorry to be the bad news,
The bringer of bad tidings,
But if there is or ever was a god,
He better go into hiding.
No price, No time limit,
No wanting alive or dead,
But still this bloody thing always stays a step ahead.
If he is out there, Which I doubt,
Like in baseball, Got struck out.
Because I stopped believing the moment Alan stopped breathing.
How can someone just take a life away,
When Alan had so much more to give,
I would have given my life away,
If Alan could still have his.
Does god know what its like,
2 lose a loved mate?
Who’s known and looked after you,
Since you were 7 or maybe 8.
For him not to recognize you,
Or know who his family are,
Because he was beaten into a stupor,
500 steps from Scotland yard.
Humanity needs to step back,
And take a look at itself,
Because its turned the garden of Eden,
Into a living hell.
Guns, drugs, STDs and shitty feelings.
To 8 year old prostitutes,
And 9 year olds doing dealings.
We’ve destroyed the earth,
Forget pollution, global warming,
Guns, drugs, sex, bad health,
Because humanities biggest threat has always been itself.
