Description

Image by  Daniel S. from  Pixabay 

There is a mortifying blight on the world
Over which both men and angels lament
The propensity of frail and fearful men
To offset their weakness with violence

A terrible dearth of human compassion
When souls are seen through crosshairs
Down cold, hungry barrels of blued steel
An appalling desecration of life’s value

How apt that a gunshot is titled a “report”
How well it expresses its final testament
Well is a trigger shaped like a plowshare
Behold how adeptly it digs fallow graves

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The weak of the mind will use fist
And the fist of the frail will bring gun
The loudest of guns provoke bombs
And in wrath he will chase until it's done…

…and in the midst of moving forward we have given the right
To let the wolves attack the sheep and bury guilt inside...

Your history is dead
Dead wrong
Dead, dead wrong
Your philosophy is wrong
Dead wrong
Dead, dead wrong

The scars outlive the pain
Reflections will remain
The scars outlive the pain
Your sickness will remain
Dead, dead wrong”
            Excerpted lyrics from “Beheaded” by Demon Hunter
