How Many Words...

How Many Words Does It Take to Fill A Coffin?
How many words does it take to fill a coffin?
Exploding sounds of bullets flying,
Running crowds and falling bodies,
Count the dead, the survivors speak,
The blah, blah, begins.
Bury the dead and resurrect the why, why,
Draw the lines in blood and dust,
Raise your fist, scream your outrage
Media videos numb the senses.
How many words does it take to fill a coffin?
See the grieving and shed a tear,
The sun will set, and the sun will rise
The silence will follow, the outrage will sleep
Until the rattle of guns awakens us
Count the dead,
How many words does it take to fill a coffin?
