Dead the Next

Who can you trust nowadays?
It seems like no one.
All many people trust their mom and God the Son.
Many people are jealous in so many ways.
The day he died was one too many.
But how can he be dead?
I always keep that question in my head.

He did no wrong,
But they want him gone.

I’m talking about my cousin, Jared.
He had a good job.
He never fought or robbed.

He did no wrong,
But they want him gone.

So they made a plan.
One said, “Let’s kill this man.”
At least I guess.
But why would they cause this mess?

He did no wrong.
But they want him gone.

It was a set-up, a trap if you will.
They thought it would be no big deal.
What about the family attached?
They hold on to each other like a latch.
I wonder if they feel any regret,
Because this is something a family will never forget.

He did no wrong,
But they want him gone.

One night he went out with a friend.
But he was shot in his loving heart in the end.

He did no wrong,
But now he’s gone.
