Today I woke up with fourteen roomates
Struggling on how of us to let go our owner debates
I was number three in line
In my owners waistband I hear plans to pull a driveby
With his friends having guns loaded with my cousins
This is sure to be a family reunion
My owner pulls up to a group of guys with the opposite colors on
He pulls the trigger and releases me
At the sametime I see my cousins ray and stevie
They both hit concrete which I thought was neat
But me, I bounce off a street pole into a house with plastc siding
And hit a civilian, which becomes another innocent killin
I landed right in the back of the head
Hearing a loud thud, which means the person has dropped dead
People all around begin crying, as they see a relative dying
So now I'm in the county morgue cold and bored
I really regret my owner grabbing the trigger and pulling it
But this happens everyday in the diary of a bullet

clever concept, but rather violent, methinks.

You miss the point.Guns and bullets don't choose what they are fired at.A bullet that has a conscience would jam rather than let its self be fired in a cowardly drive by shooting.Write a poem about the mentality of the people who resort to drive by shooting.Now that would have social value.
