Trigger

yet another poem where someone dies, yes. this is about the war.

Standing knowingly of

What is to come

I watch his eyes glow

In sense of fatal power

And I feel 

My hands go terribly numb

And I know he is 

Some mothers son

With a family, character,

And life

Its appallingly easy to pull

A trigger or lunge with a knife

A thought holds me back

But not him

And as he holds up the gun

It seems extremely dim

And as he pulls the trigger

A dreadful echo in my head 

Of that child who thew a

Ball for fun

And now I lay here

Dead

Tell the truth, you're not ten, right? You're some chick that someone told you that you were a ten. Ten year olds don't think like this . . . . at least not in my day. But however old you are, this is a work of merit and you should be proud. It was a great read.

Very powerful words. There is so much evil in world and I'm sure others experience such a thing on daily basis. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, an amazingly powerful read. Yes, even evil men had mothers, although it's hard to look at them in that way. How is it possible you're 10? Amazeballs kiddo :)

It is strong but fair. You show a "catch 22" here. Very well done. I will remember this when I reading your published works one day.
