Sunny

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

I wrote this years ago after watching a particularly horrendous news segment. It made me wonder what makes people break down to the point that they committ acts of violence that seems completely unecxpected.

Sunny thoughts
Sunny mind
Sunny hit a road bump
Sunny wound
Up in to a ball

What to do?
What to do?

Sunny found a gun shop
Sunny bought a gun
Better safe than sorry
Sunny rationalized

Road bump far behind
Though still fresh in
Sunnys' mind
Sunny couldn't take the pressure
Anymore
Wound up like never before

Sunny took her gun
And went on a shooting spree
He looks like trouble
Sunny reflected
Bullet travelled faster
Than trouble ecxpected
Bang! You're dead!
Bang! Off with your head!

Sunny felt relief
Wound down
But still not enough
Up ahead
More people looked like trouble
Gun in hand
Raised to shoot

Bang! Bang! They're dead!
Bang! Bang! Off with their heads!
