Array ( [sid] => 48775 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Jigsaw Child [time] => 2004-05-23 10:50:41 [hometext] => ~a small prayer for the school shootings~ [bodytext] => The Jigsaw child

It's in the afternoon and the children eat their lunch
they don't care for their classes don't care for them that much
I hear a loud scream it sounds like thunder
They are unaware to the danger they're under
then out of the smoke comes a child in a coat
he's got a gun in his hand and blood around his throat
I see them run through the halls I see them run into the rooms
there’s no use in running the reaper will get you soon
Babies dying and the grown man crying
all through the halls you see teachers hiding
the five year old didn't choose but he's still gonna loose
never gets to be in love never gets to be a fool

oh Jeremy what have you become oh Jeremy is your God a gun?
oh Jeremy oh Jeremy you've sold your soul to the dead one
you hear a loud crash as the children run past
you thought you'd live forever now he's here at last
this bloodstained hand can't clean the other hand
your tortured mind is under the devil's command
this body you need to cleanse, this mind that's full of sin
jigsaw child put yourself back together again

he grips the trigger warmly then he takes aim
its hard to live a good life when you got lead on the brain
the beautiful people, the popular people never loved me
the accepted people, the qualified people never saw me
he was never too educated he was never too bright
he was always so dark but he'll let you see the light
this gun in your face a flash bomb and mace
oh Jeremy you're scattered all over the place

a bullet in the brain society is to blame
it's their fault they gave me this name
this body you need to cleanse, this mind that's full of sin
jigsaw child put yourself back together again
take your final stand take the final bow
break the silence with one great sound
oh Jeremy you said oh Jeremy you read
make a joyful noise unto the lord like a good book said

now answer me this, do you believe in God before you die?
you stare into my eyes and you do not lie
you say yes and I ask you.....why???? [comments] => 7 [counter] => 159 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Vermillion [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 24 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

The Jigsaw child

It's in the afternoon and the children eat their lunch
they don't care for their classes don't care for them that much
I hear a loud scream it sounds like thunder
They are unaware to the danger they're under
then out of the smoke comes a child in a coat
he's got a gun in his hand and blood around his throat
I see them run through the halls I see them run into the rooms
there’s no use in running the reaper will get you soon
Babies dying and the grown man crying
all through the halls you see teachers hiding
the five year old didn't choose but he's still gonna loose
never gets to be in love never gets to be a fool

oh Jeremy what have you become oh Jeremy is your God a gun?
oh Jeremy oh Jeremy you've sold your soul to the dead one
you hear a loud crash as the children run past
you thought you'd live forever now he's here at last
this bloodstained hand can't clean the other hand
your tortured mind is under the devil's command
this body you need to cleanse, this mind that's full of sin
jigsaw child put yourself back together again

he grips the trigger warmly then he takes aim
its hard to live a good life when you got lead on the brain
the beautiful people, the popular people never loved me
the accepted people, the qualified people never saw me
he was never too educated he was never too bright
he was always so dark but he'll let you see the light
this gun in your face a flash bomb and mace
oh Jeremy you're scattered all over the place

a bullet in the brain society is to blame
it's their fault they gave me this name
this body you need to cleanse, this mind that's full of sin
jigsaw child put yourself back together again
take your final stand take the final bow
break the silence with one great sound
oh Jeremy you said oh Jeremy you read
make a joyful noise unto the lord like a good book said

now answer me this, do you believe in God before you die?
you stare into my eyes and you do not lie
you say yes and I ask you.....why????

See this is what i mean...Theres a movie by Gus Van Sant called "Elephant" and i was thinking god i wish i could express everything i feel for this movie, and you did it. If you knew me more you'd understand what a great compliment it is for me to feel the same way about these poems as i do that movie.
