Guns

reared on six shooters
pretending dead act again...
real life a dead cert.

Harry, Every time the gun deal comes up, I think of playing when we were kids, "Bang" you're dead"! All those westerns on tv. Somehow I think that helped train our generation in the proper respect of firearms! There's a difference in play and real life! Nice point you made here! RAY

Mans ideas to reality to death. A Haiku more powerful than the gun, why? because it makes sense. Fine piece Harry :)

Harry, if this is for the contest.the best of luck.. guns, is not the best subject for me.. I think they are the end of me. I'm glad no one in my near family owns one... xox~pd
