Louder Than A Bomb - The Poet and His Poems: Lamar JordenPosted: Thu 01/05/2012 10:55 AM
SHOOTER By Lamar Jorden 2:56 PM Bullets bask in barrel before booming Students zooming towards exit run rampant like thoughts in my head Any student not thought to be dead Gets shot again Students think "not again" as my tech shoots shades of Virginia Within the mutual minds behind mines Blacksburg turns into DeKalb Students scream aloud as rounds rip through the crowd The scene is wild But for once I get to be center stage Behind my blank look I'm in a rage A renegade Tamed but in a cage I stand Stance stiff as a statue starin' at chu Shots and shotgun shells fly like pterodactyls The scene is so thick Which fits cuz I'm an outcast But this is no "Player's Ball" This is a scene of prayers, calls and screams Anybody from teens to professors to football players crawl and I spray em all Lay em all down in a timely fashion As they're dashin' to safety I'm safely solid as a mannequin Brandishin' 3 handguns and a shotgun The world is goin’ crazy The world is goin’ crazy I'm just a daily reminder Scrutinize my autopsy you still won't find a spine to justify my acts You run from my bullets but can't escape the fact that this goes back This goes back to the 19th century in elementaries around the globe 1891 St. Mary's Parochial School Fools before me used shotguns to empty a class Fast forward 36 years 1927 2nd to 6th graders were the targets 45 were martyred 58 more wounded at the hands of school board member Andrew Kehoe Y'all upset at me though This coward killed kids because his farm was being foreclosed These were the same people chose to own slaves at the time We’re all slaves in the mind I swear the world is goin' crazy The world is insane School shootings are more overrated than Lil' Wayne So tell his fans at Northern Illinois that I'm the shooter Skin Thicke like Robin and matches in pigmentation Tell his fans at Northern Illinois that I'm the shooter Gunsmoke and sudden death make the atmosphere putrid Today's Valentine's Day homie I wanna be Cupid Slugs replace arrows Icebox replaces heart that I can't seem to find No one seems to mind that students show more school spirit when someone is dead Who was Dan Parmenter before he bled Husky Red? Shots to the head seemingly make you more popular That has to be why most the shooters kill themselves Resembling suicide bombers from countries we are brainwashed to think is a threat We are fighting over oil My blood boils at the realization that you can get killed for nothin’ in college Just as easily as you can in a war or in jail But we're still more concerned with weed sales and pushin' the whip I guess this is what happens when a country is run by a Bush and a Dick
The world is beyond crazy Why are we overseas when the real war is in front of us? The real war is in the institutions that are supposed to build a better tomorrow The sorrow is in the hearts of those who fall victim to those dimming bright futures We fight foreigners when we are the ones who will shoot cha I'm sorry This is a life in the day of a resentful shooter This goes out to the victims at Northern Illinois Virginia Tech Columbine High School University of Texas Bath School Poe Elementary Cologne The list goes on I'm sorry Because guns don't kill people We kill ourselves but the world is going crazy Crazy like myself Crazy like the fact that if Bush cared for my mental health Five innocent lives Woulda been spared. I'm sorry.... I’m sorry...
