Between the eyes 
Forever I am gone.

One called Peter one called Paul 
Reach for the rifle before they fly
Two juicy birds baked in a pie

A soldier lost his rifle 
A general lost a war 
Soldier shot
Cowardice they said 
The General was promoted 
Got an extra star.

From anywhere out of the blue
Comes a rifle shot of white glue
With little fanfair
It plops in your hair
As another pigeon counts, "Coo!"

That lay down some basic ground rules
Their Assault Rifle Class
Ensures students will pass
Since vaccinations are for fools

His rants will our freedom stifle 
The lives of others a trifle
The lies Trump expounds 
Sound like lethal rounds 
Shot from Don's mouth like a rifle

Bayonet, Combat, Boots

On a battlefield so far away,
those marching soldiers never play,
all scanning the horizon,
a target in question,
freedom defender,
with their rifle,
bayonet,
combat

Farmer Jethro had a loose daughter
Making out with her boyfriend he caught her
   His rifle he got
   Then he fired a shot
No more boyfriend now ~ That surely taught her

Killing With Kindness

When Ben's beliefs they tried to stifle
He decided to jump off the Eiffel
Being of magnanimous mind
Uncle was exceedingly kind
Instead offering him his new, automatic rifle.

Premium Member A Sad Remembrance

I kiss her red honeyed lips
She allows the milk 
of my iniquity 
to wash over her
The pain of her sadness
washes away my cruelty
I leave my rifle at her feet

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.

Why

I wanted to know why there are 16 old mothers,why there is rape,why there is sin?
i went to the pope to ask;but i got the answer without questioning;in his left hand was a bible but in his right was a rifle.

The Hunter

I am watching,
With the gaze of a wolf,
I am as still as a tree without wind,
As I draw my rifle,
The dear tenses,
The forest is silent,
One life living,
Another life taken,
The dear is now resting,
I am living.

Barbie Matriarchs 
Hunter stalker 
Caught in sights of rifle shot
For sport and meat
Sorry my Dear 
This is what people do
Like Jan the wise lady said
Survival of the fittest 
Not the prettiest

Hunting Season

A gaggle of wild geese flies in the bright morning sky,
quickly the bald, smirking hunter raises his rifle high;
but in his ineptitude he hits a different target instead, 
his old hunting buddy resting peacefully in the shade.

Soldier -

Silently waiting, rifle in hand
Observing the enemy; like ants in the sand
Lowering the sights, no time for regrets
Distant gun fire; how many are left
Injured or dying
Exhausted, bereft?
Remnants  of war we must never forget.

By Caleb Culverhouse

Jingle bells, Ashley smells
Shirley laid an egg
The truck had a flat
And the deer got away


Hunting days, hunting days
Deers be aware, Caleb has a sharp eye
Packing a hot loaded rifle yeah!

Hi, I'm a wooden duck
Hunters uses as decoy
Half suspecting young bucks.
High on the pond I float,
Hidden by the big pines.
His rifle cocked for prey,
Hitting a fawn all fooled.

The Shooter

Denied a beer
no I.D.
only eighteen,
so naturally he bought
a semi-auto rifle.

The silent mad
go bad.
Such a predicament.

Sorrow weeps, reason sleeps.

Background checks
buried now in graveyard grounds.

No more back to school.
