.
They will come at you unawares shouting we said
they could have weapons. It swells a man's pride. It
makes a woman equal after the injustices
of child bearing, beatings, and abandonment issues.
.
Blame the culture, blame low self-esteem, a lack
of respect, insufficient rewards. No wealth stokes
anger. Armed to the armpits, respect is donned
for a short span. Entitlement is a big word.
Retribution is a bigger word.
.
Someone's life, once was personable and kind.
Freedom is criminalized by stupidity or braveura or
the emotion of the moment, to become encrypted
and labled, hunted, eventually captured, and stamped
like the expiration date on spoiled milk.
There is not enough space to walk without encountering
anger. It grows like leaves, everywhere. Freedom
is undefined when a high price is attached. For income
and trade, the gun makers want the freedom to accept
the powerful joy of owning a pistol, advertising that guns
are so much fun everyone should go out and buy some.
