Drown if you can

 Would you let him drown, if you knew,

how much pain he would cause,

what lives he would destroy,

how blasphemous he'd be?

If you knew,

Who he would kill,

how much he'd smoke, 

how his lungs croak.

If you knew,

how much he'd lose,

how much he'd get beat,

how much he'd hurt.

If you would,

just notice,

see him struggle,

hold him longer.

if I knew,

I wouldn't have held my breath.
