Found the bullet...

Today I found the bullet
The bullet that went in to the chest of our building's maintenance guy yesterday
He was shot and killed just for entering the apartment
He was shot for going to fix something
Something that he was told to fix
Today I found the bullet

I found the bullet that my cousin was accused of shooting at an off duty cop
When he was caught in his apartment
Breaking and entering
He is now doing life for attempted murder
Today I found the bullet

The bullet that shot Tupac and Biggie...
The bullet that took both of their lives
I also found the bullet that took the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
And the bullet that was going to be used on Obama
Today I found them all
The bullets were just all lying there
Together
In one place

I couldn't believe it
Now if only I had a huge magnet
To take them all back
To reverse what happened
But then, I would have to travel the country to take back the bullets of all the lives that have
been lost to gun violence
It would take me more than one day
To get back all those bullets
Today, I found the bullets
The bullets that destroyed men
The bullets that gave some power
And yet took away the power of others

Because what is a gun without the bullet
