Death Comes Easy

death comes easy to a finger on a trigger hiding behind a soul with no conscience a thief with nothing of his own to steal, bloody hands and empty heart, he runs to evade death he runs to evade justice and retaliation he runs to evade fate that hunts him down eventually. He smiles at the TV screen, eating supper, hearing another senseless loss, washes his food down with a gulp of cold beer, kisses his gun. Satan’s slave, living in darkness filled with hate and rage. With no hope for his future he steals futures and dreams. death comes easy to his finger on a trigger hiding behind a soul with no conscience Aims Fires Takes away life Aims Fires Runs to preserve his own failing to realize, without a future he is already dead. death comes easy to a finger on a trigger hiding behind a soul with no conscience .....STOP THE VIOLENCE! .....

Enjoyed reading your work written about a topic that is in the news everyday in large cities around the USA..Sad that Satan has so much control over some people..Very expressive way of telling the story..Thanks for the visit to my page..I have some heart problems but I am doing better or so it seems(we never really know)..I have a hole in my heart that I have had since birth but did not know that I had until a couple of years ago when they found a tumor in the wall and I went to get more test

Sara, God is a healer. It doesn't matter how long you have had the condition, God can restore it to wholeness, completel. I am believing that for you. And, keep writing. Your poems are wonderful.
