&quot;And they say we&#039;ll never see half as much <br /> as they did. It&#039;s true that we never saw Vietnam <br /> or World War Two. We didn&#039;t see our mother&#039;s cry <br /> when John F. Kennedy died, but we&#039;ve lived our <br /> whole lives being told that we&#039;re just not good <br /> enough. We&#039;ve seen anorexia and bulimia because <br /> skinny just isn&#039;t skinny enough. We saw Columbine <br /> and watched the Twin Towers fall. We&#039;ve seen a <br /> lot of greed and even more hate. Our generation <br /> fights a different kind of war but we&#039;ve seen just <br /> as much as them.. and maybe even more.&quot;


The little boy that wasn’t loved,
The little boy that was ignored,
Look at what he’s become.

The young boy that was teased,
The young boy that had no friends,
Look at what he’s become.

The teenage man that had enough
The teenage man, he has a gun.

The little boy we should have loved,
The young boy we should have befriended,
This teenage man we could have prevented
