Stick a bullet in your gun

and use it as a wand to

take away the problems

that haunt you now; and

you fire and reload and

your magic makes the world

a different place and yet

ever and always  the same.

 

And your magic casts a spell

over all who see its power,

so that everyone wants it

in their powerful little hands;

and they sense its shining allure

and find it everywhere, across 

screens, and broadcast to the world.

 

Stick a gun in your hand and

everyone will know you are a god

with power over life and death;

and the bullet will remove all

the problems in your way and you

will reign in freedom evermore.
