Books and blood

 

 

 

The Icon on the morning news

another smoking gun

should the teacher show the book

or tell the class to run?

In a class room in a quiet town

the question is why ?

books and blood keep mingling

will we graduate or die ?

empty casing s keep on ringing

yes it’s a different kind of bell

seems to be chapter

straight from the books of hell

Bullets turn the pages

where books and blood are red

somewhere Satan’s laughing

as he numbers all the dead.

What can we ever do

to turn this crimson page?

What book teaches love we need

to stop this heathen rage

will we knock on heavens door

when we open our next book?

what avenue is left

to get someone to look ?

lucifer oh lucifer

the god of all that hates

your servants keep traveling

to each and every state

A smoking gun your Scepter

death always your creed

books and blood your calling card

for such a dreadful deed .
