AN EVENING STROLL


Oh my God, I think I've been hit
Give me a minute, I have to sit
Is that my blood dripping on the street?
Something is wrong, can't feel my feet

Blood gushing and feeling so numb
Never saw that kid wield his gun
Maybe it's just an awful dream
Can't be that bad, I didn't even scream

Went to the store to buy something sweet
To get my kids an evening treat
Such a nice night, I'll walk to the store
A perfect time for an evening stroll

Saw some kids shouting at the corner
Picking on a boy who looked like a loner
Pushed and shoved and called him names
Did not look like normal teenage games

I interfered and asked them to stop
That is the moment that i was shot
Upstanding citizen doing my best
All it got me was a slug in my chest

Left the house without saying good-bye
Was getting the family a sweet surprise
They're probably wondering where I'm at
I'm on the street lying flat on my back

Why did this violence happen to me?
I love my family and let others be
I don't do drugs and do not cheat
So why am I here bleeding on the street?

I'm getting cold and it's hard to breathe
sight is fading, getting hard to see
Is that a siren or is that in my mind?
I hope it gets to me in time

Oh no, there it is, the halo of light
I have to succumb, lost my will to fight
I understand it's my turn to go
Please tell my wife I lov...................
