Highschool

I stare
at retreating backs,
breath hot, 
rapid,
rabid,
vision tunneling
on thin throats,
on breakable skulls.
Their self-aggrandizing 
by-way-of-breaking-others
laughter
the only sound matching
my pounding 
pulse.
They have heady
steady rhythms
calmly beating away
their egocentric existences.
I stare,
breath hot,
rapid,
rabid,
the absolute,
incontrovertible,
Truth
that their existence
is a blight
emblazoned 
in my mind.
I would rid myself
and every other
crushed-beneath-their-heel 
pathetics
of their calm,
taunting
laughter
but
I don't have a gun

TAKING AIM

It never changes through the ages, prime,
Our world is more & more obsessed in strife.

I'll dwell upon this for comfort meantime,
When sadness settles in one's dreary life:

What Lennon sang in song happiness is,
These days, even for crim'nals on the run.

Of ev'ry single kind, both hers and his,
In reality, I don't have a gun.

In truth, that's the way it will always be,
No matter where I turn; north, east or south.

As for west, I'd best abstain, for a fee,
So sayeth I, when I "shoot" off my mouth.

Please learn a thing or two about all this;
I'll never have a gun, and never miss.

The Twirler

Understanding life has becum a loaded Revolver..
I sit in sweaty head swirl
Waiting, nails chewed down bloody to quick..
Waiting, for the roll to complete and
Click...
Fearful of the next bit of future that exists in a smoking chamber.

My spin spin mind causes a reckless revolution..
The cold steel of wide awake
And eyes that shake in frightened strain..
Five shots fired this life roulette and what remains  ..
A gamblers state of mind and my hand full of wild cards..

I have placed my bet..
Regret? Yes, great unease exists in living and let...my chips free fall  .
Hard pain floods temple to throb throb beat...
Turn of bad card "click" I spring to my feet..
Desperate for the upper hand and I hard resolve to be my own executioner...

My mind in its thick hurricane fog of pollution...too much.
Yes...far far too much.
My twirl mind has spun this bitch into a suicide pitch..

I reach and face drains white.
Oh God. Am stunned...
So cold and I sink down the red wall..

Realisation: I do not have a gun

"the voice of Nirvana
said, come as you are"




and I swear
that I
don't have a gun
no, I don't have a gun
no, I don't have a gun




how funny ,
the irony of the lyrics
speaking to me

I hear the city
I see the city
from forty five storeys
in the sky

the traffic down there
I remembered my toys

I don’t know why
but I felt
that was
really necessary
to shave my head

I see my  hair
on the cement

they never complete
the floor tiles
on this rooftop




No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun




yes Kurt,
I also don’t have a gun
would’ve been so cool

thanks for bringing this
last smile on my face




Memoria
Memoria




the song is fading
inside my head
through my ears
to the phone

should I call her?
one last time?

Harley you havent followed the rule of including some form of the sentence "I don't have a gun" so please fix if you want to be in this comp.

Everyone else, great entries so far. Wasn't expecting so many so quickly.

And yes, dejure, this comp was inspired by that song. :p

GUNS ARE FOR SISSIES

I don’t have a gun
I don’t need one

I’ve got two fists
I’ve got two balls

I can defend myself
Without the NRA’s help

I don’t have a gun
I hunt without one

Just give a stick
It’ll do the trick

I don’t need a gun
To kill somethin’

Those antler’s on the wall
Didn’t just jump or crawl

Up there by themselves, Son!

And if that doesn’t impress the girls, I made the clock from scratch.  Just feeling very Ron Swanson today.

Gun

I’d consider shooting grandma but she’s already dead
The same applies to grandpa and dear old Uncle Ed
I’d definitely shoot my sister
She’s a gossip, liar and twister
I’d certainly shoot my brother
I’d have to include my mother
My father could be next
But I’d want my bayonet fixed
My filthy Uncle Frank who touched me there
My sexy Aunty Zelda who wouldn’t touch me anywhere
And so to Celebrities and VIPs I have to turn
There are just so many that should be in an urn
Donald Trump I want to see his body slump
Kanye West, from him, we all need a fuckin rest
Christopher Walken for too much stupid talkin
Dr Phil for me, would be such an easy man to kill
Jeremy Kyle I’d shotgun blast him with a huge smile
Justin Beiber I’d gun him down like hunting beaver
James Blunt for being to easy to rhyme with #@X%
Myleene Klass just for being a frickin pain in the ass
Chevy Chase and his stupid unfunny annoying face
George Bush, George Bush Snr, Jeb Bush
I’d even shoot Barbara Bush at a push
Barack Obama so many failures, too much drama
Snoop Dog I’d assassinate and skin like a hog
Britney Spears I’d blast her right between the ears
Vladimir Putin for so many reasons he definitely needs shootin
Bill Gates who comes in dollar bills when he masturbates
Brad Pitt for being so good looking but cant act for shit
Eminem and all other white rappers I’d condemn
Prince or whatever the fuck his name now is
Mel Gibson a racist drunk that should be in prison
Paris Hilton for having sex with everyone apart from the milkman
Tom Cruise for being as mental as a bag full of kangaroos
Nicholas Cage is such a dumb ass for his age
Kim Jong Un a megalomaniac and blithering buffoon
Miley Syrus for spreading muck like a virus
Lady Gaga for being completely and utterly gaga
Gordon Ramsey chief cook, bottle washer and Nazi
Katie Hopkins she’s a million miles from Mary Poppins
Cheryl Cole, shit I’d even dig the hole
Opera Winfrey for rarely being skinny
Nigel Farage because he is human garbage
Simon Cowell for being mean nasty horrible and foul
These folks are lucky I don’t rule
And I can’t swim in my dead pool
What prevents me having this murderous fun?
Simply put “I don’t have a gun”
