Paper, Pistols & Prayer, 2012
106″ Bronze

Paper, pistols and prayer
the all-American event
starts with a seed
each one different

At school, we must compete
shut up and stay in our seat
this could harken defeat
to a child who is meek

Defeat turns to rage
hard to turn the page
gettin’ a gun
will show who has won

Oh, how could this be?
Why didn’t we see?
Tomorrow will be a new day
now we must pray
