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
