The Sense of a Rifle


I have seen the frighten face
Fearful and fearless
The one who’s known for my pity grace
Ruffin…who’s mean and heartless

I have heard the Booms and Bams
From out of me
I have even felt the cold hands of my criminal
Gripping…and holding me

I’ve tasted the blood of my enemies
Dry and wet
But look at my country
Oh it’s not over yet!

I have started this Civil War
Which I’m not proud of
And I must finish I came to far
But look what I’ve become of…

A murder…all alone
But what if I weren’t a gun
Could I have taken back what I’ve done?
So this war would have never...begun .

Very good poem Jeresia. I like your message, asking if you could take that shot back. Its a good question. However, did you use any slang, because i cannot find it?
