ONE SHOT


One straight thru the heart
Two upside the head
One between the eyes
Why so much bloodshed?

Violence begets violence
Put your weapon on the ground
Step back and put your hands up
Please don’t make another sound.

A penetrating force
Can’t you see it’s getting worse?
Don’t turn your back, don’t look away
Don’t think that you’re the first.

You’re looking for an exit
A means right to the end
The path to glory will be paved
With smiles and evil grins.

Every good intention
Ends up upon the floor
Ripped to shreds … left for dead 
Can’t you see, there’s something more?
