In the Courts Above

if

you’re gonna

do it

whoever you are

wherever you are

don’t do it

to someone … to anyone

you love or you hate

don’t use them

as your escape

that’s what cowards

do

they use

they abuse

they refuse

how could you

do it

how could you

point a gun

to your child’s head

and pull the trigger

how could you

point a gun

to your wife’s head

and pull the trigger

did that give you the nerve

to then

point a gun

to your own head

and pull the trigger

if

you’re gonna

do it

whoever you are

wherever you are

for whatever reason

even though there is no reason

then do it

to you

to only you

to only yourself

and no one else

how could you

do it

to your own family

how could you forget

it doesn’t end

with a single shot

to the head
