My Ode to You

My Ode to You
By: Maddi G
Tell me
Did you hear her cry
As she said stop
Did you feel the tears
Soak her now tainted skin
Did you feel the beat
Of the pulse in her body
Did you see the light fade
As you stole her spirit
Did you know you ruined her
As she wonders why
Did you have remorse
When you left her to die
Do you hear our cries
As we march through the streets
Do you understand the damage
The sound of our drum now missing a beat
Did you get what you wanted
While we’re consumed with questions
Did you have second thoughts
When you prevented a nation
Did you know you’re the one we are warned about
You come in disguises
Did you know we knew of you
It couldn’t prepare it
The devil doesn’t wear horns
He has charming smiles
He tricks and he has tactics
And he watches as we cry
As we march
And we search
With no remorse
Because the devil doesn’t come in horns
