shotgun thunder

[12wildkindness]

i was in the desert

the night it rained bullets

i just wish one had hit my head

but unlucky i had been hit in my shoulder instead

if i had been hit in the head

i would be dead

instead of in this metal hut

that these people had dragged me in

i told them i wanted to die

and they said go ahead

just go outside

but i cannot be so tall to walk onto a warfield

we questioned if dead soilder's were mad

or if the devil had came down here

but i said it's mother natures war for spreading a little fear

i picked up all their guns out of the house

and shotgun thunder shook us all

i threw the gun out the door

and soon they seemed to dissolve

it was if the ground had ate them up

we investigated when the rain stopped

i wondered if someone was trying to say

peace and love and crap

i was no peace loving hippie

but i was no gun toating man

but the only thing i know now is

i must respect this land
