I do not understand?

-
The sensitive trigger depresses
Mechanical ease
Index finger pulls it closer
To the disturbed individual
Gaunt body
Gnarled and blistered dreams
Brought him to 'his' place

Twenty rounds fly out
One follows another
Velocity and impact
Innocence destroyed
While watching from the next room
Some  pretend not to hear


Misadventure?
Not understood?
Driven by misery
Tortured by a development
That fucked with his head
The person who murders
To such an extent
Invisible as troubled
Hidden?
From those he has met?


Would it be possible
In an empty hand
No recoil to manage
Avoiding death
Mindless carnage
Never seen
Without a gun
Teenage angst
Might be more quickly appeased
Not made all of the worse
As
Lives are extinguished


Misunderstood?


Really boy?


PLEASE!




Pleading for lives
Hardly realised
Seems impotent and useless
It is hard to hear above the rat a tat tat
The screams produced loudly
Panic and flight
Or protected by a doorway
The border of hope

Mr politician
Who covets national history
Read and be taught
Chinese whispers have fooled you all
This is not right
Offering collateral
A nod to the right

A constitution
based on Militias
Time moves on
Developing society?
Jefferson knew
He explained with clarity
Barbarism should be
Always
Confined to history
A man does not wear the jacket
He got
From his mother one day
When he was but a boy
Come on now Sammy
Take away his toys

Gun laws?


What is the point?


Unless you are a hunter
Why have an assault rifle
The chicken laid the egg
Scrambled my brain
Incomprehensible
To me
Is it all to you?


It seems easy to change
With words and with pens
Ban the automatics
What is wrong with that friends.

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind blown pine trees sing in high pitched terror Birds dart Rabbits unseen? But for borrows Buzzards soar A red kite adorned a fence post Squirrels elusive Watching Just in case I might see one race by Even in the periphery of either eye A busy head is a safe head? Freedom from worries Eating and gnawing Snatching at anything that will offset these thoughts Let th

Physgill. Watch the swiftly feeding swallow Sun outside But not it in the hollows Of the shrubs and the greenery Fresh cut lawn Hydrangea, Rose Honeysuckle aroma The fields with the peas, A sea of swaying green Moves like an ocean The sound of the trees Moved and being shaken By the summertime breeze Cattle in the drive way Pheasants shouting loudly The deer are cautious Barn owls swoop in darkness Caught by car lights Badger scurried across the road Foxes rare The game keepers gun. A lamb down a tree trunk Discovered by Rosalind Pulled out by a farmer Care for injured falconry Rescued for love Of all that was around us The freedom The tranquility The sea and the solway Not too far away The Glen with her garlic Appetizing rambling Down to the shore Where pebbles and boulders You arrive at the bay. The cave has a host A man in a smock Ninian the monk Later canonised Who sat in meditation Considering faithfulness Sheltered from harm. C

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha
