run!

sleeping stops
good morning, Clock
run.

shower. drive.
traffic. thrive.
run.

busy. work
pressure. irked.
run.

pressure builds.
patience spills.
run!

thoughts in hollow
should pride I swallow?
run!

the poke, the prod
have mercy, God
run!

falsely accused
blind temper ensues
run!

curse and swing
and shoot at things
didn’t run.

the smoke then clears
my conscience seared
didn’t run.

weapon in hand
I’ve destroyed two men
done.

    the man who was killed and the man who did the killing – even though he’s still alive his life is now ruined.

    Hahaha… What a great story teller you are. I want talent like that. You know what? I’m now inspired to paint. I’ll share with you what this piece has inspired me to create.
