Repost.
Same story.
New face.
New case.
Another young one removed from his mother.
6 year old kidnapped before he goes to school.
Yet they go on and treat us like fools.
But this is the norm.
This is the world we are living in.

That secret house next to every corner shop.
We'll get in trouble if we try to call the cops.
I refuse to let my brother or sister go down in drugs.
I don't want to be the one who has to pull the plug.
But this is the norm
This is the world we are living in.

Walk out the house and there's another body laying in the streets.
Covered in blood.
Teen girl caught in the cross fire.
10 steps forward, another car is wrecked Brother saves his sister, so we pay our respects.
It's a reality we need to accept.
I can't lose another friend to a drunk driver or drug dealer.
So please, our streets need to be cleaner.
But this is the norm
This is the world we are living in.

6:45 and I arrive at school
All I hear is more bad news.
One hurts another.
Find a so called lover.
Teachers can't teach.
Teachers want to leave
Learners give up it's a ripple effect
It's an issue we need to disect
Bullying
Drop outs
Suicide
