If I had a gun
If I had a gun
i'd shoot the following words
without hesitation
or delay
they are me, mine and i
for this man
to have true compassion
this indeed is necessary
I'd replace
the above three
with reference
to self in third
despite the shortness of lenghts
they are love consuming words
reference in third person
indeed has it's beauty
you see your own self
alongside the others
allows you to get
'your' context right
stops pecks of dust
gathering on your heart
in essence
it is nothing but your pride
thats gathers with each
venerable reference to self
or
in other words
each reference to self
using the aforementioned
enforcing a bit more of
compassion
to self than others
so gimme that
literal gun
so that
I can truly
have some fun!

Re. If I had a gun
I, me, and myself, cannot understand why this poem means anything to people, especially people I admire. Eh, maybe it is the wine . . . I am not an asskisser, no matter how shapely it may be.

this poem is truly inspiring - I would defy anyone reading not to start and make a list of words they would shoot - excellent and clever :-)
my three words for shooting would be: Disabled - Amputee - Invalid - what's wrong with the world "cripple?" I prefer that world :-)

This poem is the epitome of REC : Respect, Empathy and compassion... a sharp blow to selfishness and ego. I love the subtle images it depicts and the intense emotion of loathe for such horrid values. This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing a stellar piece.

Dear respected friend,
I am well and truly humbled by your kind appreciation. It is a sad reality- everyone 'knows' everything- just the fact we don't remember it when it comes to practise- so this scribble is nothing but a reminder to self. Much obliged by your honoring of the scribble by the RL add and your generous generous appreciation.
Warm regards
KDAmB
