THE LIVING VICTIM
The sun rose another day
And they continued on their way
They would smile and say hello
As if they were happy to go
Look again I say into their eyes
Before you tell them casual good-byes
Can you see what is turning in their heart?
To know their pain before they part
It has been true for many years
For those left behind, we should shed tears
By violence a friend or loved one is taken
And again many lives now have been shaken
So let's not forget just those who die now
But recall sweet memories from gone days somehow
We held, we touched, what now seems unreal
I'll always remember, yes this I will
And yes if we look at that everyday face
That always before we pass without trace
So now let us pray for those things we share
The living victim of a world so unfair RONNIE LEVINER
