TWO FACED by tom jensen
Abe Lincoln once said,
"If I were two-faced would
I wear this one?"
He might've been
an ugly guy
but hey, at least
he got stuff done
And hopefully you'll say
the same about me
When it's my turn to be
up on that balcony...
Then dress me in
a three-piece suit
After my date with the
great, great grandson
of John Wilkes Booth
I don't know the
statistics or logistics
But surely when a
bullet ends all rebuttal
It hurts more than just
the guy on the floor
Seems to me that
we're all in trouble...
How many severed heads?
How many snapped necks?
How many people lay dead?
With a bullet lodged
in their cerebral cortex?
How many great leaders
Have been erased
before their time?
I wonder what this world
would be like
If it wasn't for such crimes?
