"Dedication For Executioners & Killers"
  by Dante'


51 shots is the price of justice

51 bullets to enter & eject through flesh, bone, tissue & blood

51 bullets to berate the heart of every loved one

51 shots in the darkness

51 slugs traveling at 1800 miles an hour

same firepower to demolish gorillas and elephants- on an unarmed man
from the hands of men instructed to protect

who now turn to killing things they don't understand

Like Kids stepping on ants or smashing spiders on windows

slaves to stereotypes

pawns in a kingdom that kills its own people

evolving from 7 members of firing squads- blindfolding the condemned
to 3 men performing an unprovoked, unjustified, incomprehensible act of "street Justice"

even for state executions, they give proper preparation
holding the life of a "To Be" groom in their hands

Taking away a son, a brother, a friend, a nephew, a fiance' to be husband at dawn

letting their fingers slide on the triggers faster than sticks striking on the side of a matchbox

the metal cradles blood & tears to sleep...

and the cops say "sorry for the tragedy."

A Tragedy Is Unexpected.

But you have to expect:

Taking a magazine, popping it in the gun, cockin' it back, putting it to somebody's head & pullin' the trigger, empty the magazine, reload & empty again that death is gonna come from that!

Shootin' so wild that only 1 is getting fined because his bullet went into a nearby station & almost hit another Police officer!

so keep your apologies for real tragedies...
NOT FACE TO FACE MURDER

they'll see street justice. 41 shots to Ahmadu Dialo. 51 Shots Through Sean Bell.

0 Justice Served.

Take away 92 shots, you have one man living his life & the other, A husband & Maybe even a Father...

Deep man, deep. It's a shame that those cops got to walk after killing that man for no reason. This is a favorite.
