suicide shooters filled with hatred bent on destroying
others and themselves. Suicide is an act of despair!
What makes a person want to kill themself?
We do not destroy what we love!
Unless goodness outweighs evil, life cannot continue!
The battlefield where the war between good and evil (love and hatred) must be fought
is within the heart of every man!
Parents and educators must learn to instill
empathy and self-esteem in children.
Unless childrem grow up feeling valued and loved
they will not value themselves or others!
Teach the children to respect and cherish life.
Teach the children not to kill!
When we grow up inundated with graphic media images of violence on television,newscasts,videogames,etc.
we become innured/desensitized to violence,
and the use of force to achieve one's desires
becomes legitimized/normalized.

Words and Music by Randy Goodrum
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
And I can't believe it's youI can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"!
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, you needed me
A mentally unhealthy society spawns
