Premium Member Shoot Straight Huitain

Honesty is an argument,
filters are roses and sunshine;
The truth is no longer present 
high on hot air as we decline;
Egg shell phrases but we aren't fine,
weighed down by the weight of phony;
Words and thoughts no longer align;
Can anyone shoot straight with me?

Shooting Stars

Muzzle flashes
the stars shoot straight,
no curve balls, they light you up,
you feel the silver bullets
ricocheting inside the elastic walls
of your cringing red dot of a heart.
Low caliber
but they linger,
bounce around just long enough
for you to know 
that according to the long arm 
of the Universe
you hardly exist at all.

Trouble With Wishes

I wish I could make wish that could make me make a wish to turn all trouble makers into trouble shooters who wish they could make a wish to make them stay out of trouble so I would't have to make a wish at all so I could shoot straight to the nearest pub and shoot some pool instead of having all this trouble making wishes to make wishes.

Gun Crime

Can I get a gun boss?
Can I get a gun?
I can shoot straight boss
I'll kill anyone.

My heart beats so fast boss
I'm ready to go
Can I get a gun boss?
I want in this show.

I'll kill for you boss
I have no fear
Can I get a gun boss?
Life is so dear.

Your life is gone boss
You are now dead
Can I get a gun boss?
To blow off my head.

My Wild West Gang

big man big gun big heart
that's me in a nutshell

healin's my callin'
shootin's my insurance

guns run dry
my spear don't

rock don't lie
men do
I trust my pickax

my pa said shoot straight
and speak truth
I live by both

bang! ha ha!
did I get ya?

they fear my gun
they should fear
what's behind it

God guides my hands
medicine does the rest


Only a Week...

Clink and the bell tolls
Crash and we breathe
Shout like the passion
in you dares to live
Laugh and the moon swells
Smile and we dance
Even though you say it's Greek
this idea of romance
Shoot straight your arrows
Preach only truth
Give like you will never be old
Treasure your youth
Speak and I'll listen
Listen as I speak
Live like a thousand years have passed
in only a week....

Shoot straight,
Don’t let your gaze stray,
Breath slow and measured,
Frame the mark in the sun’s rays.

Make a bead,
Feel the wind,
Clear your mind,
All but this rescind.

Take it slow,
Think ahead,
Know the moment
To release that deadly lead.

No time to ponder
None for regrets,
You’ve done your duty
In terminating threats.

You’re the archangel
Of right and might
The gavel of justice,
Our enemy’s blight.
