I could not cut a man down in cold blood
Shoot him in the head and leave him to die
Forgetting he has a family, others who will suffer
Could you cut him clean from this mortal coil
Would you gun him down if he wasn’t a stranger
If your faiths weren’t different
If he didn’t seem to be a danger
If he was your brother
Your cousin
Your cousins friend
That friend’s Uncle
How many degrees do you have to be separated before it gets easier
Before you can **** someone without thinking or feeling like something is wrong
How many shades between you and black does it take to turn off your heart
Don’t let them slice and dice away the spark that knows from heart to heart
We are all connected
The shadows of strategies and collateral damage
The camera closing in from a distance
We all live and die
Love and cry
So how far removed would you have to be
To take a gun and **** m
