They'll Make a Weapon of this Wound...

The bullets leave their holes
penetrating the depths of souls
The blade's edge spills the blood
that will seep into the mud
The weapon leaves the wound
as the ad-men say "Stay Tuned"

Then flesh and blood is weighed
as arguments are made
comprised of the standard lines
all used on picket signs

They'll make a weapon of this wound
as propagandists always do
So the masses will all stay tuned
they'll pretend there's something new
to ask of the weapon or the wound

The answers- no one knows
(as history always shows)
So the future's put on hold
while the same old story's told

Monsters with teeth and claws
showed no respect for laws
They took blood without permission
and held an unauthorized demolition
Could this have been prevented
by laws yet to be invented

Has anyone asked of evil
how it burns into upheaval 
Is there any actual source
for the lack of all remorse
What actions will it take
to prevent the striking snake

If there's an answer to be found
it's unlikely to come around
when everyone seeks to impugn
and make weapon of each wound
