*Content warning: profanity & references to violence*

Bang, bang!

Barrage of bullets blazes

Bloodshed boundless,

Brethren blindsided, bewildered

Bravely blasphemous,

Boys in black bear the brunt of the blame

Buddies become bullies

Bald-faced bullshit backed

By the blessed and beautiful

Benign bookishness and brooding bent into

Banners boding a burgeoning bloodbath

Branded a brute by blinkered barbarians with badges

Bound behind bars, beaten, bruised, battered

Break the boy and build back better

Brainless banal bore blindly banters,

Babbling backwards beliefs
