Bullets Have No Eyes

Bullets have no eyes
In the mourning a son won’t rise
No plan in life for demise
Black men hear our cries

Stop shooting killing each other 
We need love not hate brother 
Time unwinds while you slang
Dealing in death please change

One mother and father miss
The hope denied by this
Feud so rude and senseless 
That dude who killed their kid

You think you had reason to
End a life will bring misery blue
For you have to face the truth 
Humanity is lacking in you

You can never undo evil deed
No matter what you plead
At night your closed eyes see
His eyes as life leaves he bleeds

Now your family members know
Who you really are in your soul
A killer despite reasons why
In a cell of a jail you will reside

When you choose to kill a man
You turn from God’s holy hand
You do the devil’s work indeed
You become a slave never free

So we lost you too you see
No longer an asset to be
No longer in the community 
Not free to thrive and dream

Can you at least give back
By deterring youth from your path
Can you tell truth and testify
Reasons bullets have no eyes
