THE BULLET OR THE MAN

BLOG #24 | 29.5.2022

Is that your daughter’s blood in the shopping mall

Sprayed on the windows, running down the wall ?

Is that a gunner in the gallery tweetin’ too fast

Or just another killer with a twisted past ?

Is that your son’s trauma on the killing floor

An iPhone movie for generation more?

Is that the gun lobby shooting down your door

In the name of freedom, by the letter of the law

How many more, how many more?

Is that a lone wolf baying at the moon Taking aim at the living from his hotel room?

Is that a fake story for the weak and the weary

Or just another conspiracy theory?

Is that Las Vegas or Texas on the line

A streaming story in the New York Times?

Tell me one thing, I need to understand

Who pulls the trigger, the bullet or the man?

How many more, how many more?

The guns will shoot, the bodies fall

And nobody does anything at all

‘Until the next time it happens

Who pulls the trigger, the bullet or the man?

The bullet or the man

The bullet or the man

The bullet or the man

Who pulls the trigger

The bullet or the man
