The autumn birds have disappeared
at the touch of rain, bullets geared
but we are at least very wise
we are constantly in disguise
honest diligent people we know have a very early rise
they are not in disguise
will this be very wise?
the bullets we hear so very close

think of the old people
they are oft home alone
praying is my most powerful weapon
for them to be shielded upon
the most dangerous attack
of the new madman goes on and on
