Six Bullets

Six Bullets

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

six-shooters seduced by
the stupidity of jailbait,

Oxycontin in the carnal
sense corrupting the ghost
beyond recompense,

this is beyond what the
snicker-doodle in the
upper left corner of
the auditorium can
truly understand,

just drive-by theology
with twenty-million hits,

like hits of heroin
and not hits to the nuts,

but does that distinction
really matter?

bags of black tar attached
to a sisal string attached to
a rotten incisor,

covered in phlegm
and stomach acid,

this is the same attraction
that those under the bell
curve perception see as
Ted Bundy and
Jeffrey Dahmer
prey upon the
impressionable youth
of today and yesteryear,

but people fail at normalcy
like six bullets fail to murder
nine mobsters unless the saints
drop out of the ceiling after
arguing about the momentary
merits of a long spool of sisal,

yeah, boredom presents
strange opportunities

You cover many a dark subject here, succinctly. Scary thoughts, dark clouds, and much food for thought. No boredom in this write!

Justice has its hands shackled while the criminals wave at us in a taunting nature. Seems to be the price for freedom. A very interesting rant.

Well, my Dear self professed Geek...You have just proven to me beyond the Valley of the Shadow of Doubt, that boredom really isn't...boring. My hypothesis, you ask? When bored, the mind goes Mach 5 trying to figure out a way to amuse, distract, or occupy one's time. (be it well wasted or well spent)
There's the mind of Minolta, and then there's your mind...your mind Rocks.
Thanks for all the intricate poetry. Glad to read it.
