Black Background
Shooting into the black background
He’s got a shaky hand
And pulls the trigger
He fills a man
And takes his air
Another Man standing and recording
For everyone to witness
The murder is on air
Still no one cares
His mamma is crying
“Why’d you take my boy”
The officer gave a blank stare
His words spoken through action
His emotion rushing from the commotion
He’d just killed a man
Without hesitation
Or care
Just another video
Of muzzle flashes
Lost in the black background
Where light only shines when the muzzle flashes
are on air
As quick as his life was drawn
His story may live on
In the black background
That no one sees
Until a gun is drawn
And another life is gone
