It Happens So Fast

Another one gone, another name added
To a list already far too long
Just when you think that it's the end
There goes yet another friend

How many more
Who and how next time?
Another string of bullet fire
Or a spinning, upturned tire

No rhyme, no reason
Empty halls and cold stone walls
Letters cut deep and clean into the rock
While tear-streaked faces look on in shock

A lesson learned too early on
Starting when life should be trucks and dolls
Live each day as if it were the last
For you never know, and it happens so fast
