An old man with a gun

An old man with a gun

He shot

A young man in the head 

Thank God the young man he shot ain't dead

 

Oh God, what has he done?

He must

Be filled with fear and rage

To shoot a young man my grandsons age

What's new under the sun?

 

This awful story isn't new to us

A young man shot because he's black

Surprised the media still makes a fuss

Over another maniac

Let's face it

A racist

 

When all is said and done

We cry

Offer our thoughts and prayers 

While deep down feeling that no one cares

Will we see justice or see none?
