Under That Same Tree


My friend lay under that same tree
I still cry every day
He had a beautiful heart

Where did he go wrong? He’s gone
He was a very strong man
Full of bones
He will not suffer anymore.

He was very bold,
Kicked so many times out of doors
Crash...Bang
One way or another he
Would have fallen

His name was Fred
What can we do to stop losing our men?
Everyone can’t be a winner
But there are too many chiefs.
Rest, my buddy, You are now at peace.

Please, No more Crime. I care
Amen
