Deadly Duo

Clarity comes so much easier when you’re staring down the barrel of a loaded gun.
Doesn’t it Sweetheart?
Not as much fun as it seems…
Keep the muslin clean.
No need to taint it with your tarnished blood.

Not yet anyway…
Let’s just play a harmful little game.

In this little chamber, was salvation.
In this little chamber, was none.
This little chamber was called Russian roulette,
Where is that deadly bullet in the gun?

Spin the wheel and take a hit.
See what kind of mercy Lady Luck will give.
But it all lies within the final chamber that will send you home.

How does it taste?
Like a lead drug fix with a copper chaser.
One that will send you into that delicious coma,
The one where you never wake up.

It’s all about a perfect solution.
A chemical harmony balanced on the level of a gun.
Executed by the trance of a trigger,
Littered with a trace of blood.

Game on…

taken seriously, this is too scary, but i know the urge that can make one feel like putting the gun with the two bullets to his head and spinning the cartridge but we have to control those urges unless we look really good in bright orange jumpsuits

Okay Mariah!!! I love you...so...pay up your membership with The American Rifleman's Association and get back to writing the fun stuff. At first I thought this poem was about the REAL deadly duo....the two boys, M&B...let's call them Blue eyes and "Byderman". That would make for a great and humourous poem.

Let's do this one over and uplift the spiritual with humor. I'll just bet you'll get a huge amount of reviews with a lighter flip to this poem. The poem is good but with humor it would be GREAT!!!

Love,
Mom
