Bang bang

I remember childhood panic My sister as a cowboy Chasing around the garden Bang bang, you're dead I remember that fear today Weeping over other people's children Imagining their pain Bang bang, they're dead I want to comfort them But there is nothing to say Nothing to do, nothing changes Bang bang, we're dead Guns don't kill people, they say People kill people, they say But, see, they make it easy Bang bang, they're dead 24.7.2011/8.2.2018 Fee

I started this poem after the massacre in Norway, but it was too painful then to complete. So it was started 24.7.11 and completed 8.2.18
