The Devils Laugh

The Devils laugh 

It has Its way
This  pistol
The iron cold always
Corners of the mouth
Cower to a kool frown
Arm extended straight 
That power separate 
Once pulled,
Consequences birthed with you
This Tic’s my clock
As gun is heaver it
Facing more in my direction
Seeing the many murders
Holding a doctors sympathy
As strangers talk about the weather
