Tensions rising, rising high
Hold your breath, don't even sigh
Is he our savior, stand-up guy,
The way he holds his shotgun, why?

The discipline to wield a weapon
His grip, I look, it is not stable
Walk away at such an angle
So I don't yet get sent to heaven

To wield a weapon, such a weapon
Training must be step-by-step
And if you have to pull that trigger
Ensure your target's that much bigger

At any second, he could yell,
At any second, WHAM! You fell,
At any second, BAM! A shell
Is lit ablaze, innocent people grazed

...There's people here,
There's people here!
Buckshot is not for people near!
For targets near and targets here,
But not for the bystanders here...

So argue, genius...
Scream and yell...
He looks ready to send you, well...
A couple feet and then to hell...

Drop your bat, if even that,
This stick won't help you beat a fat
12-gauge armed man who wants you out
So drop it, now, no, do not shout

I do not care for violent clout
His job is his, a weapon whiz,
Enough to kill you, and then him,
So walk away, and let him win...

This one was actually based off of something I saw recently.

Oh really ? I’m glad you could bring experience into your poetry!!

I was scared in the moment, but afterwards I realized I could use that nervous energy and turn it into a poem.

restive bone Jul 17, 2024, 2:18 AM

#

And you done a flawless job at it

#

Hope you are all okay though ?

lunar walrus Jul 17, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

Yeah.

restive bone Jul 17, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

lunar walrus Yeah.

I’m glad!!

Apparently these two guys were arguing, and one of them had a blunt weapon, so my dad kind of escorted me to our car...

#

And security guys over here don't have handguns, nah

#

For some reason the go-to is shotguns.

#

Small problem, though?

#

Shotguns aren't hitting one person in a supermarket...

#

So it felt like a ticking time bomb and the security guy was holding the gun like an idiot

#

Definitely didn't help.

#

He made the two who were arguing separate and leave, though.

Oh wow sounds like hell tbh, would hate to be in that situation but I’m glad you aren’t hurt and made it out safely!!!
