Nine bullets it took, to kill the good priest
as he lay glistening in the sun.
took his pills one by one
'til they fired and broke through the skin of his belly
while the little ones choked on the flesh in his cell yeah and the prophets were smoked
and the holy robes soaked in red tears streaming out of his chest.
Nine bullets it took!
'fore the man of the book buckled down and began to pray
through the rusty old pipe that his throat was, decayed, shot a sound, harsh and frayed, as his life was unmade and his rapture betrayed “Oh God!” did he say while in the gutter he laid, full of holes, “my debt is repaid.”

Nine bullets were taken by a  man of the lord
while the angel stood shaken, his hand on his sword
this man had denied his heavenly ride before death could untie his heavy burdens of pride
I don't really know where to put this,
Don't even know what it is really, I think it works best as spoken word, but it's so unlike anything I've done before

The basis for this piece is a phrase that popped into my head "Nine bullets it took"
with those words came a bit of rythem, so I wrote those four words down and just saw what I could come up with.

I dont think this is finished but I'm out of inspiration, I don't know if it's any good so i'm not throwing it out, instead I'm putting it up here to ask for advice ^^
