Analysis of Some



Some are waiting for the worst
Some ignore it happening
Some say that's the way
and some are for procrastinating

While some will fall quite fast
and some will go in time
Some won't see it coming
and some will see the crime

While some are for the ending
and some are for the wait
Some will rush to judgement
and some will mourn their fate

While some will have to answer
and some will not know why
Some will have the answers
and some will quite deny

When some will say they're sorry
and some will say they're not
Some will take what's given
and some will pray they're fought

While some will say they've done
and some will say what for
Some will say not ever
and some will say they're more
