Untitled 799
When we were young
we’d set our guns to stun,
play war game,
and make fairytales
to tell ourselves
that everything
would be ok.
But in modern days
machine gun ways
keep blowing us away.
Lies get harder to accept
and our innocence
gets harder to protect,
so ignorance becomes
the preferred state.
Halloween horror monsters
become less chilling than
those modern killing men,
and evading destruction
becomes an impossible feat.
While those who try
to fight the guys who lie
end up napping in
the dirt beneath our feet.
I am stumped,
shoulders slumped
as I stumble off in defeat,
and all that remains
to mark the pains
of our passing race
of humanity
is the poetry we leave.
