Blood and Bullets
Inspired by the Connecticut tragedy and another minor shooting that happened in my home state
-------------------------------------
Blood and Bullets
That night we cried ourselves to sleep
For each of the little children the blood did weep
Serve upon this misery and damage
No words will excuse the savage
The vultures swoop, spread the sugar coated lies
But still the frozen child dies
Yet they still wish to remove what little safety we have
But they fail to see that will not stop the slings and arrows they have
For the media projects the fame they crave
Like wild dingos they consume what we fail to save
Serve and protect is not the duty of just some but all as a whole
ALL AS A WHOLE
And we fail
And we fail
The cameras prance around like costumed horses in a dance
All the while the mud splattered reality burns and singes the lines of damned fantasies
We are to blame, shining glitter and fame on the damned souls that should be burned
We spit acidic words of hate all the while praising them in glittering spectral lights of fame
They do not heed the angry words, but revel in the talk of them...them..
Them...
It's
All
About
THE KILLER
Blood and bullets pollute the spoiled ground but no one cares for the rotten
Sadness rings through for a week but soon the victims are forgotten
But no one forgets the criminal...Infamous
He is immortalized by the fame...fame...infamous
Blood and bullets
Blood and bullets
Blood and bullets
Blood and bullets
Blood stains
Bullets jump
dead forgotten
left rotten
Monster remembered
remembered
Blood and bullets
Blood
and bullets
