Let him be

All fucked up with a gun in his hand

Talking 'bout some s**t that no one understands

Just leave him alone and he'll be better tomorrow
Just let him get drunk and wallow in his sorrow

If only tha would work. Often that seems to be the afterthought of regret. Men should learn to marshal their feelings in constructive ways n stead of always using a hammer.

Thank you for the review! :)

[mercy party]

[BBP]

I killed a man in Reno...

In general, it's best to leave us brooding/angry/ males alone with a pitcher or bottle.

Usually we snap out of it and solider on...but guns notch it up to another level.

I seriously believe that if more of my friends had guns growing up, I'd be visiting the pen or graveyard a lot more now.

[BBP]

Yeah guns could easily be needles and too many had access to that...

[BBP]

I liked the Cash reference! Thank you.

[Alessander]

Yeah, I have friends who succumbed to both, sadly. C'est la vie I guess, but emotional distress/guns/booze always an ominous scene which I think you portrayed well.

Oh, and yes, J cash! Dunno why your piece made me think of him. Maybe he's in my head cuz of that SB commercial from yesterday lol

[BBP]

Thank you. always an honor that it reminds anyone of Cash! And yeah, Ive lost too many to addiction...which causes depression which is a lethal combo.

Tomorrow is never better...sometimes it's even worse. Love your gutsy falling off the edge pieces

[Neville]

Short, sweet & to the point. Cheers, N

[BBP]

My friend was married to an alcoholic, it would have been nice if he would have left her and her kids alone. Valentine

Sometimes absence is the best gift!

[An owl on the moon]

What a fierce, honest write. Your words flow in a piercing wildness for a drunken soul's voyage.

[BBP]

Thank you so much! Your review is more poetic than my poem! Hahaha

[An owl on the moon]

Haha! You're poetry is awesome! :)

[BBP]

Lol thank you for taking a look and your nice words!

[Paul Bell]

Alcohol, sorrow, fucked up.
The gun is then the decision.
Hope tomorrow comes.

[BBP]

Yep...hopefully he doesn't have bullets! Ammo is pretty expensive now a days lol

[Paul Bell]

Bad day when you can't afford to kill yourself.
What is the world coming to.

[BBP]

Lmao... Guess he's gonna have to try it with a slingshot next time ... Least rocks are still free lol

[Paul Bell]

They smoke rocks here. lol

[BBP]

Well if you smoke those someone else might shoot you ... So problem solved lol

[Paul Bell]

Fine epitaph mind you.
He was shot by a guy who could afford to buy a bullet that week. Night Bev lol

[BBP]

Lol too funny Paul

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Sometimes its better to let others on their own to tackle things rather than risk being on the receiving end of their "guns".. Nice and powerful! I liked reading this☺

[BBP]

Thank you very much for the sweet words and for stopping by!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You are welcome! It was a pleasure reading it ☺

Elvis Presley used to shoot out the TV. The poor guy was so messed up
You could have been writing his mental state towards his end here.
As everyone's said - powerful piece here.
My kind of poetry.

[BBP]

I like the Elvis sentiment here! Nice twist!

[Tony Jordan]

Your poem actually recalled to mind one of the best episodes of The Twilight Zone which centred on Presley, Bev. I'd highly recommend it. Its called 'The Once And Future King'
