Am
I
Next
Rodneyc//21
When the bullets fly
When mothers cry
When some stranger must die
Am I next?
When the moment is forgotten
When the passion has been lost
When the news moves on
Am I next?
When it becomes another statistic
When it is just another one dead
When it is lost on the back pages
Am I next?
When failure is the rule
When we are but a number
When they are just them
Am I next?
Those people in hoodies
Those people standing on corners
Those people who are blamed
Am I next?
