Bullet to the Head

This man been
criticized again
Accused of much
but not there to defend

The things they say
make him ill
For he would not hurt
a fly or kill

He would sooner put a
bullet to his head
than harm another
living soul or wish anyone dead

So to be accused
of a reviled act
Makes him uncomfortable
where he’s at

Chinese whispers
turn the rumour mill
Have these people
not had their fill?

He hasn’t done
a thing wrong
But to others
he is too far gone

It make him sad
what other think
No wonder he
turns to drink

What a sad world
we live in
When people lie
from hell to heaven

Tears and frustration
fall down his face
His hands shake
as his fate awaits

He trusts all
with an open heart
Maybe it’s this
that keeps him apart?

Maybe they fear
his honest ways
And so him they
do betray

For what they
fear most is themselves
So others suffer
for their own hell

  1. Oh how the world will try to break people down, the better the person the harder they try. It’s enough to make anyone with compassion cry.

    That fearful desperation of people, to drag others down to their level just so they don’t have to feel the guilt. Their own minds against them, still trying to teach them. The guilt isn’t a punishment, it’s a lesson!

    The laziness it takes to make no effort at all, to better oneself. Just one ounce of compassion, a teaspoon of love, a few drops of kindness and, like the yeast to the bread, with a light sprinkling of positive action everything rises.

    We can only hope, that there are enough bakers to feed the starving masses, because without them we turn and feed on each other, consuming everything, until there is nothing left!

    Love your writing by the way! 😀

    1. I love this reply as it’s poetic in itself. You should convert it or keep it as it is. I love it.
      Thank-you again Mr Stark. Can I have one of them suits and join you on your quest to rid the world of evil? 🙂
