I believe that the majority of people are good but it can only take one bad act to change the face of the world.
Inspired by the Virginia Tech murders.
It Only Takes A Drop
It only takes a drop to poison a well
It only takes a drop to open the door to hell
It only takes a drop to murder and maim
It only takes a drop to set the world aflame
shooter in the school
people lying still
anger with a gun
thirty-three killed
It only takes a drop to start the flow
It only takes a drop to sink the boat
It only takes a drop to alter a fate
It only takes a drop to manifest the hate
bullets in the blood
killer spewing red
carnage in the school
thirty-three dead
It only takes a drop to poison a well
It only takes a drop to open the door to hell
It only takes a drop to murder and maim
It only takes a drop to set the world aflame
