I shot my brother in the eye

I shot my brother in the eye
with my new BB gun,
He ran home to mom and cried
and told her what I'd done.

It really was an accident
I pleaded with my mom,
She began to scream and yell
I told her to stay calm.

She then called my dad at work
explaining what I did,
overheard her say bad words
about her rotten kid.

She called paramedics
to rush an ambulance,
I thought my brother's eye was fine
it didn't make much sense.

But mom kept right on cursing
saying things I cannot mention,
my brother's screams ensured
he was the center of attention.

No one tried to empathize
with me in any way,
this morning my mom gave me
that gun for my birthday.

When dad got home he spanked me
and sent me to my room,
my brother's at the hospital
I'm sure he got balloons.

Don't know why they took his side
and think this was assault,
he jumped in front of my new gun
and it was not my fault.

I was aiming at the kids
who live across the track,
my brother walked in front
as I pulled the trigger back.

I shot my brother in the eye
with my new BB gun,
I hope my brother doesn't die
If so, I'll have to run.
