Keeping the Future Alive
The smartest girl in the world
She will be ten today
Wanting to be the president
That would be her favorite way
This little girl would strive and try
To be the best she could
She grew to be fifteen
That is the oldest that she would
She figured that she was older and safe
She was only a big old fool
Gone to the movies and back by ten
That was the main rule
It was two in the morning
The parents got worried
They went to look for their daughter
And found her shot and buried
"Grown up Cindy" got shot and killed
She was then left to die
The killer then ran away
I wonder why
Cindy was such a hopeful talent
She came to a sudden stop
All her hopes and dreams
Her bubble truly popped
Cindy's killer was never found
Soon people ceased to care
Although a lot of killers are found
But they don't get the electric chair
Later on these killers are released
Left to kill again
People will never learn
This is a basic sin
This poem begs people to stop the killing
People are losing lives
We must kill off the bad
We must keep on keeping our future alive
