Then, There Will Be No Hope (VT Massacre) By Del Abe Jones

If we don't change the way we do And learn to do what we don't If we can't each, honor ourselves It's a sad fact that others won't And there will be no hope! If life isn't treated sacredly And we won't care for one another If we can't hold out a helping hand To help each Sister and Brother Then where will we find hope? If we can't let our greed and hate Be overcome with how we love Then, it's not enough to say you pray To some god somewhere above Though, you may feel that may bring hope. If we let our World numb our hearts And our minds and sensitivity If we think life is some movie script Beamed out to us on some TV And think it's all not real, we hope!

If we don't quit our pretending That everything will be alright That it couldn't happen to us We will find, someday, it might No matter how much, we may hope. Though, there are some bad apples Our young people are the best We must all help their learning So, they can pass this life's test For, they are our only hope! We are all our Brother's keeper And all other people's, too If we won't stop doing what we don't There will be nothing left to do And then, there will be no hope.
