Damien Poem by Colin Coplin

Things are done that I just, don't understand
There's hardly no time for the average young man
Works his arse off 'till he's blue in the face
Pumped with hope, so he can keep up the pace

Soon he'll join the unemployed
Where all promise and ambition are destroyed
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world

A situation that I just don't understand
A situation that just got out of hand
He didn't realize what steps he should take
He didn't realize his life was at stake

He left us thinking yet again
Another passing of a friend
Another passing, more than a friend


Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
For you and me
Damien

A contemplation left much to late
A deliberation we all left to fate
We didn't understand the roles we should play
We ignored the facts, hoping the problem would fade away

He left us thinking yet again
Another passing of a friend

Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
For you and me
Damien

Social media, heals or destroys
Trolls can hurt you, or can annoy
But for some the sun won't rise
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
Is there any justice left in this world
For you and me, Damien
