One bullet's story, one life sacrificed in the telling, millions more chapters to come, billions of case histories all gathering dust in the vast, gaping maw of time. You be the judge on this one how does this bullet make you feel???
I am the bullet
lying deep in a box,
under hundreds of cartons
of yet unopened shells.
In the back of a storeroom
lying snug in the darkness,
in my bright copper jacket
over steel with brass casing
one of life's living hells.
Sporting guts of gunpowder,
born and weighed by my caliber
with a mighty large impact,
small hole front,
H u g e wound exit,
flesh exploded, and torn.
Flersh exploded and torn....
I am the bullet
that someday
not upon us
fate has slated
to lay waste
"Your dear
precious daughter,
But for now I am shelved
I wait here in a carton
filmed with dust
that had settled
long before
she was born.
long before
she was born......
I am the felon,
my merits are brief,
I have always
been greedy
just a mugger
and thief....
whose career has
been criminal
wrought with violence
and grief,
Just to buy me
some crack
and to find some relief.
gonna find me a mark
one with money who's young,
and if she gives me trouble
man, she's gonna get done
that way there'll
be no witnesses
cause prisons no fun.
because Prisons no fun......
I am that bullet
now spent,
bent and battered
removed from
the heart of
a life that once
mattered,
I snatched
Mommies love from
two kids who
are shattered,
left a husband
whose tears
on her gravestone
are spattered.
I am a bullet
the bane of all men
that's been tagged, bagged
and placed in the evidence bin.
Enveloped in darkness,
I am stored once again,
next to hundreds of bags,
holding bullets, mis-spent.
Ziplocked into silence
from their tragic events,
years of dust cover them,
but each day
more are sent???! !
There are millions
still out there!!
this is my testament,
"I am the bullet!"
I Am The Bullet!
I am The Bullet.............................
