Poem
while working one evening at the plant,
an older man began explaining to a younger man next to him
just how easy it would be for him to get away with 
killing someone.

the young man,
now more attentive than ever before
(once the older man mentioned that he would have no problem
killing someone),
sat there while the older man laid out his plan---
he explains that he would use an older rifle that he has hanging in his
house (one whose make no longer exists),
and that he would simply drive up next to the house of the person he
hated,
and while waiting with a scope on the rifle,
from a distance he would pluck his enemy’s life right out of them
as to him it would be
“just like hunting a deer.”

the younger man digs down deep within 
for that part of him that feels could kill 
and responds to the older man:

“i know could kill somebody & get away with it too---yep, just like
killing a deer”

the two agree that after killing whomever it is that they want dead,
they’ll feel better because said individual will no longer
be around to annoy them.

and the gunslingers build up their stocks of
guns & ammo 
they breed their sons to love guns & if they don’t go off to war
after being spoon-fed grandiose amounts of patriotic 
excrement 
which will prepare them for being 
hired killers
somewhere else in the world,
they stay at home within these borders & 
fester.
the american gunslinger is a special kind,
one whose history comes from the celebrated 
“wild west,”
and who shook fear into others that would stand in their
way---
these psychos want to be able to parade around with their
big cocks out
so that all the world will see just how much of a man they
really are
(in their big trucks with their big guns, compensating again & 
again, so obviously, for their itty bitty peenie weenies).

as an inward, xenophobic, extension of the empire,
directed within 
at itself---
they are doing a bang up job!
