Please! Close your eyes.
.. Don't watch.
.. Don't hear.
All the madness and hate,
.. Breeding death,
.. Breeding fear.
In a world upside-down,
Hold so tight to your hope!
Lest you find it struck dead,
Hung on cruelty's frayed rope.

If the sharp gunshot sounds,
.. Stay still.
.. Don't turn.
You don't want to see,
.. Evil's face,
.. Eyes aburn.
In the misguided rage
Of a perverted few,
Guard your innocence close,
Lest they steal it from you.

So please, close your eyes.
.. Don't watch.
.. Don't know.
As they ransack our lives,
.. For 'fun'.
.. For show.
In a world upside-down,
do your wholehearted best
to live life rightside-up
... for there lies the true test.
