No Guns Tomorrow

I have surrendered my arrow 
My kinsmen all death row 
Life is worth roe 
like eating meat raw 
Fight not like no guns tomorrow


And We Both Know Hearts Can Change

November will cry,
Leaves will fall like sloppy tears.
The loss of a rose.
Yet there are more awaiting,
Crumbling in that dark garden.

Winter Ghosts

snowing winter night
so many corona ghosts
joined by gun ghosts
other ghosts as well 
just too many ghosts 
voices crying in the wind

they hear the pop
and they wop
they hear bang
those brids hum and sing
run with there gang

Top Gun 2022

It seems our driver made a fuss
Whilst dodging bullets on our bus
When Ted Cruz said,
"You won't be dead
If you shoot first, and then you cuss!"

Do guns 
             kill, or people?
        Which came first? --The chicken
   or the egg? Why waste breath? Secure
             the schools!

We each have a pistol and ammo
Issued by the company
Goes with the job for life
Only way out natural death or suicide
Take your pick you’re here now

Premium Member BOOKS BEFORE GUNS

I pray every morning I’ll be blessed
I’m not yet…but I’m trying….
to understand when we ban books in schools 
before we ban guns
Why we’re more afraid of our children learning
Than we are of our children dying.

Guns and God

A Christian soldier with a gun and a crucifix is a man of God
A hoodlum with a gun and a crucifix is only a hoodlum
A Muslim with a flag and a gun is an Islamist terrorist
A Muslim with a flag and no gun won't make the news

Bringing Guns To a Knife Fight

watching the US & its NATO buddies
beat the middle east senseless 
until it get its way, 
is like watching kids show up on the playground 
with semi-automatics,
when the few that they are gonna fight
have a couple of switchblades 
between them.

Premium Member Hunters

Hunters so wary, 
Rosco and Larry,
Killed them a kitten-like
Wendigo fairy.

Down went Leviathan
Small as a Guppy
Three-headed hellhound
As sweet as a puppy.

Out on safari
Rosco and Larry
Shotgunned each other
Twas narry so merry.

Free Dumb

Americans are silly fools*
Who can't be trusted to smoke Juuls
If they want to play
then guns are OK
Especially in all the schools 

*More children die from smoking
guns than from smoking Juuls
but government has its priorities!

Premium Member The Twisted 2nd

The idea that our founding fathers intended anyone over 18 to possess enough firepower to destroy the entire continental army of 1776 is absurd, arrogate and dangerous.

Guns and Searchlights

Bright
in the night
ladders of light
pools
for planes in sight

Rumble
and grumble
the roar of the guns
splatter
and cracker

Yes I was young
but the fear of the gun
lobbing from Hayes Common
protecting the Biggin
lives in the memory
war

Premium Member Sho-Me Your Guns

Sit-ups, planks, and crunches

My push-ups done in bunches

Deep heavy squats from the rack

Deadlifts are good for my back

Just pumping up my biceps

And cutting up my triceps

I'm sweating harder each day

So I look sharp when I play

Guns and Roses

GUNS AND ROSES

Another rain of bullets in the dead of winter.
A terrorist runs through like an Olympic sprinter.
Another candlelight vigil glows from the steeple. 
And America loves her guns more than her people.

The 21 Guns Questionku

This heart is broke
Nothing more to give
Lord, should I let it be

Losing my pride
Nearly lost my faith
Lord, why should it just be

21 guns
And their bells tolling
Lord, help me let it be

The queen was dead
Longer lived the rose
Lord, what's in store for me

Mortar maze

In a coiling maze
mortars fume.
Crimson cadavers
dye the verdant soil.
Poison spears plunge
craters into young flesh.
Scattered moans rise
into the sorrowing air
of deafened canons 
and carbon.
No succour or welcome
for the maimed.
Only ghosts
of peace.

A Job

A Job
I work designing guns
Never out of a job
Quite creative work
Firing pins to mags
Via handles and barrels
Art via a lathe
My mind and hands
Always at work
Like the hitmen
