RICOCHET

RICOCHET

A Poem by Mark Alexander Boehm

I am on the road
I'm on the run
Engaged in an arms race
But forgot my gun
What a sickening sound
The way you recoil
Should've kept that safety on
You shot, you missed
Bet you didn't know those were
Poisoned lips that you kissed
You've unleashed a crazy man
Unearthed a fearless warrior
Took aim at a retched soul
Give it some time
Your misfirings will take their toll

Ricochet-et-et
Pulled the trigger
But you won't hit me,
No, not today-ay-ay
Every time you shoot at me
That bullet's coming back to you
Ricochet-et-et
Ricochet.

Don't even think about
Raiding this caravan
I'm a caring man
But I still have eyes on my back
Friends watch my six
Armed with stones and sticks
I know what makes you tick
I am the arms of the clock
I'll decide when
Enough is enough
And when the end
Of this war has come

Ricochet-et-et
Pulled the trigger
But you won't hit me,
No, not today-ay-ay
Every time you shoot at me
That bullet's coming back to you
Ricochet-et-et
Ricochet.

Bullets bouncing everywhere
Did you really think that I would not hear
About the guns you played with
When I wasn't looking?
Caught a whiff of the lies
You always seem to be cooking.
Don't hurt yourself trying to reload,
It'll all be in vain.
My rhyming a*s already hit the road,
Ears ready to hear you cry out in pain.

Ricochet-et-et
Pulled the trigger
But you won't hit me,
No, not today-ay-ay
Every time you shoot at me
That bullet's coming back to you
Ricochet-et-et
Ricochet.
