9 small millimeters, flying at 1,200 miles per hour
Tiny yet so damaging and full of power
Few seconds to react
Before you feel the impact
0.20 seconds of reaction time
Before it’s too late, then we’ll hear the church chimes
Too young, 22 years old
For many, he meant the world
Piercing through his body
But still oddly
The man who commited the crime
Won’t be able to serve his time
Even though death looks fair
For his actions, he was not worth a single hair
The cowardly man ends his own life
