Against the Reign and Bullet Showers

What? against the reign of bullets? paltry words...insignificant phrases...scant creative thought still to try to wring the meaning out of the blood stained cloth to pick up each brass shell and casing to listen and ask each one why why the reign? with intent to ponder...defend and defuse against fall water of twisted metal anger THE VOICE...this hard triumphant violence has given the unaccepted A NEW CODE of Monstrous honor? How to disarm the broken soul...the distortion of voice! ballast the fluctuating scattered soul build a defense against the insecurity their being so different ...so angry ANGER against innocent Traitors ALL! the beautiful...the gifted...the brilliant ...the successful now the damned Shiny Targets on a shooting range wall Empathy seems shallow water fury fuels nothing concentration breeds frustration Lobby's laws ban ...banning Shall we jail the gifted in prisons of metal detectors and guards encourage our glorious children to hide their gifts Where are the answers all that can possibly stop the fall?
