The Mind of a Bullet
Slide back the action,
The hammer clicks,
Reaction,
Pin hits the primer resulting in a kick,
I exit the barrel causing disruption.
I give no thought to my victim,
No mercy when I hit them,
Shredding flesh and shattering bone,
Pray one of I doesn't visit your home.
Cold now,
They try to remove me,
Forceps grip the portion they see,
I am pulled from my created cavity,
Men shudder at the damage I allow.
What am I,
A piece of lead coated in copper,
But packed in a casing with powder you can see,
The death I have to offer.
