Analysis of It take just one
It takes just one bullet
to take one name.
One innocent person that is taken away
without any guilt or any solemn shame.
Look, we are tired of seeing it.
Reliving it everyday on the TV news
or on our
social media page.
It's like the bully in the classroom that
doesnt stop being a bully.
It's like a bad dream that doesn't go away.
A requiem nightmare that we cannot wake up from.
Then we pray?
It takes just one bullet
to take one name.
One innocent dream shattered
by these vile little games.
When are we are going to say
Enough is Enough.
We are sick and tired of being sick and tired
of being sick and tired
Only to see it happen
another solemn day
and then we see another family attending
another funeral.
Then we pray?
It takes just one bullet
to take one name.
One life, one liberty, one personality
gone up in tempered flames.
Why do we have to sit through
this torture rack of pain,
Only to have the system let us down
again and again and again.
These visions are stuck on repeat.
Playing the same old song and dance,
skips on the record player.
And then we pray?
It only takes one bullet
to take one name.
Silenced at that moment in time,
captured in hearts and minds
and then we pray
