 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

He who laments the loudest


He who laments the loudest is not always the one so sad
maybe he wants the crowd to think he is not the one that's bad?
Mothers screaming for their children, after pushing them out to fight…
fathers spitting fire, claiming they have the right.
He who laments the loudest sometimes uses the good that's done
then uses his own children to carry bombs and guns.
Forcing bad philosophies of arrogance, blood and gain
children only knowing, of hate, torture and pain.
Only good men can feel sorrow for every life that's lost
bad men just count body parts and add it to the cost.
Some scream “why do you punish me?” for trying to kill your son
Others just get on buses and then blows up everyone.
He who laments the loudest sometimes does it for the crowd
and sometimes it's the innocent who laments not quite so loud?
