Triggered

Nowadays 
Far too many people 
Loaded, primed and ready 
To explode, 
Just waiting to be triggered.

Excellent play on words, W.A. You draw our attention to a situation which is getting out of hand. A fast and stressful life is becoming too much to handle. Regards // paul

Good one! People are undid lined. Their drugs for moods help nothing. And then....BAM! No gun needed to do harm. Knives, drive cars into people. Drown children. God help us. Panagiota Mans inhumanity to man. Since the world began
