It Hurts

Stop no
it hurts please stop
please help me
help me
God help me.

They beat us all.
They pulled out bats and pipes.
They found out about our project.
They beat us.
They beat us to the ground.
And kept beating.

Then they started laughing and taunting us.
Then one of the kids pulled out a gun.
He shot me right above the collar.
They told off the gun-toting kid
Called him a "fuckin' idiot"
And then they left.
They left us.

We were shipped to the hospital.
It hurts to write.
They're going to prescribe
Medication soon.

I keep my head held high
To stand up for rights
But it hurts too much
I want my mommy
Help me it hurts.

They say they're going to do
a transfusion.
Do it.
Help.
