Enjoy the silence while it lasts
Soon it will be replaced with the fighting down the hall
Glasses break as they are thrown askew
Soon all is quiet he left her alone to cry

You sit in your room and feel awful
Was there something you could have done
Maybe you could have stopped it
Perhaps a run in would just have made it worse

You lie in bed and try to sleep
Why should you care that you live next to a statistic
It's none of your business
You'd rather keep it that way

A knawing and nagging linger as he comes back again
The yelling begins again and soon hitting sounds are heard
You roll over on your side and fall into uneasy sleep
So much happens in the night the police are now next door

A life has now been taken because you where unsure

K, not one of my finest, but I like it. The flow is not much either, but I was not going for that here.

Has anyone ever heard the song 'What if She's an Angel'? Well, in short, it's a song about chance. If you had one oppertunity to make a difference, would you? Just conquer your fear and come to the aid of someone you don't know?

Think about that.

What if she's an Angel sent here from heaven
Makin sure that you're doin your best
To help one another
Brother are you gonna pass that test
