The Drill Rifle
Eleven years had passed
since the marching Allies left
the small and peaceful town of Baiano;
they glanced back and heard
the song they cherished and loved:
admiring those pretty stripes and stars!

Grateful for their kindness,
women threw flowers petals
and claimed them heroes;
the smallest boys and girls
followed them dreaming of their...

Me Without My Rifle, I Am Nothing
Metal never pierced flesh or bones
Ligaments weren’t shattered in dashing haste
Not decorated with purple stones
For my heart hid from that waste
Sand and fear my tongue still taste 

Born to die in hellish fire
Infernal flame, spirit crushed ready for
Assured last breath, in deathly mire
I shut down...

Free Cee Is That a Trivial Trifle Or a Rifle
IS THAT A TRIVIAL TRIFLE OR A RIFLE?

Weightless
Weightless while watching ripples row their way across a wading pool 
A pool that portended peace
A peaceful pool in the coolness of a kiss in springtime            ...

The Rifle
Its a piece of plastic
And a piece of steel
Holding it up has an un natural feel
It has optics fitted to magnify life
And when it fires a round causes strife
It has a magazine you cant read
But when it does its job
People become brown breed
We carry it...

The Assault Rifle Madness Continues
The Assault Rifle Madness Continues

By Elton Camp

From Sandy Hook we are still in dismay
Then another shooter blows folks away

This time it is in western New York State
Where a murderer expressed his hate

A military-style Bushmaster did choose
Same type weapon as on kids just used

Shout “Second Amendment”...

The Woman and Her Rifle
Her long, flowing, black hair
sways in the autumn breeze 

silence speaks, she is silent 

a lonely bullet lays in the chamber 
her hands rest gingerly on the guard 
her fingers snuggle the trigger 

The leaves blow, the poppies bloom
and the grass stands still....

her eyes gaze...

Down The Sight Of A Rifle

Looking down the sights of his rifle
He sees people he was told were his enemies
Men, women and children walking down the street
Who are real enemies?
Who are innocents living their lives?
His finger tightens on the trigger
How could he know if his...

A Rose Or a Rifle
Don't get it twisted just because my smile is nice

I signed up for the war not once but twice

When I went to Iraq I dodged death and it's stunts

but when I got home I smoked blunts and stayed drunk.

Now I can't sleep and I'm messed...

Premium Member Why Did You Order An Assault Rifle
My AK-47 will arrive sometime today. 
I am horrified. 
Why did you order an assault rifle?
To hunt.

To hunt what?
Deer.
I stare at her.
Wild pigs?
I glare at her.

People? She says slowly.
I wait in hiding for the package to arrive.
Snatch it off her porch and smash that Ak-47...

Premium Member Decapitated
The children were pulverized, decapitated,
Their flesh was ripped apart.
This is the land of the free,
And the home of the brave.
Good guys with guns waited an hour.
19 students and 2 teachers were murdered.

The children were pulverized, decapitated,
Their flesh was ripped apart.
We need AR-15 rifles to kill...

Premium Member Wild Company
Witchcraft fruits shrivelled gorillas' brains 
Wrinkled spectral charm fire scarred apportionment
Wary growl sharp lip foretell malefactor debauchery
Overcome in jungle rummage, fur maimed

Leather crevice herbivore hand final resign
Claimed by human biscuit boned, rifle of dominance
Cunning stealth shadowed charcoal fervour obvious
Conquer given, victor's triumph misaligned

Guns Don'T Kill People
Guns don't kill people
But bullets do
So keep all your guns
But make bullets taboo

Restrict cartridge sales
Like any jet flight
With proof of ID
& registered right

Limit each purchase
To  registered guns 
Make mothers happy
With long-living sons

Bullets kill loved ones
& people we know
So give every shooter
A tough row to...

Space Veteran
Put the rifle back  

in that shattered bag,  

don't want to forget  

traumas from my hell. 

  

Geysers in my soul  

only need to explode, 

watch me hike tonight  

on my satellites....
