Enough

She wandered softly beneath wet trees, in a daze, half asleep
And wondered what would be her plea, if it were to be believed
Her only daughter had been shot
Taken when the moon was gold
Her body all nineteen years cold
And nothing but her phone to hold
She cursed and slammed the sergeants door
Ran from all she thought she knew
Justice was a rich man's due
And rain fell heavy where black briars grew

They know the world has blackened her soul
They know the world has taken its toll
They know the world has torn her apart
They know the world has poisoned her home
Years passed by, but the memory remained
Of the night the righteous army came
Burst in through the makeshift door
To seize their prize, crimes of war
Gunfire tore through the open sky
The pumped up soldiers still at play
No moment for a last goodbye
Before the truck had swerved away

And all the screams could not save her daughter
So grief fell silent as an unmarked grave
She strained to hear the sound of her laughter
The lilt of her voice upon the stave

They know the world has blackened her soul
They know the world has taken its toll
They know the world has torn her apart
They know the world has poisoned her home
They know the world has fractured her mind
They know the world has been too unkind
They know the world has broken her heart
They know the world has left her behind
