Hushed Gore

Hushed Gore

The forest deep carries the biggest gunners

Those who do the most damage

That you remember the most and worst

The school bully who nobody could master

The boxer that no opponent beat

The soldier who loved to fight

The woman who stepped on men

These people carry the biggest guns

And walk thru the darkest glade

Enormous trees surround them

Here there is little or no sunlight

Even on the brightest days

They belong to that world and rule it

We are mere spectators and guests

Visiting them now and again

When their worlds collide with ours

Gaining a glimpse on how they work

And what they do in hushed gore

I jog on by unless gripped from behind
