After Las Vegas
Nation of bullets
Nation of smoke and cracked mirrors
Nation of lead flowing in the water and flying through the air
Nation of rivers that flow unnaturally red over pavement
Nation of mass death and isolation
Nation un-led by an orange bullethead with an itchy Twitter finger
shooting deadly blanks
Nation of bullets bullets bullets
