Killing is not as hard as the innocent believe
Killing is not as hard as the innocent believe
everyone is a potential killer when pushed beyond their limits
fear is a great motivator
some just seem to have the knack for it
acquire target ,take deep breath , let half out
and squeeze the trigger , acquire target
killing is easy it's the walking through a village or town
and seeing the hate in the eyes of a fatherless child
knowing in your heart that one day he will pick up a gun to avenge his father and it will be kill or be killed
once again it's acquire target ,take deep breath , let half out
and squeeze the trigger..................
killing a man should be harder than pointing a gun in their direction It should take long enough for one’s conscience to get in the way
we may evolve beyond wars and killings in the streets
but I highly doubt it

Reflection very much worth sharing
At least this reader feels so.
In my mind, I've previously attempted to contemplate the nature by which a gun can give a coward the appearance of being "brave". And how the gun can give a person distance from their own conscience. With longer distance bombs and drones, it's even more so now. Drop a bomb on a target viewed as a dot on a computer screen, and do you ever really know what you've done? Do you ever really understand it? At the least, does it make it easier to lie to oneself?
And, as you sagely relay, when the next generation - fatherless - comes for you, could you ever really understand?
In hand-to-hand combat of yore, with swords and hatchets and - at most - bows, it appears to have been much better understood, that today's battle would return in the next generation. Sadly, humans being as they are, seem to have sought to deal with this by massacring whole villages, in victory. The socio-genetic evolutionary roots of genocide, in large, may have quite distinctly developed from the fear of one's people facing vengence twenty years down the road.
In the modern world, people in America wonder why North Korea's propaganda machine so easily convinces the population to hate us. They never stop and think about the fact that we assisted greatly in killing 25% of the entire population of North Korea during the Korean War. Just as when British oppression led to the starvation of roughly a matching 25% of the Irish population, the empire's population - distant from the massacres - behaves cluelessly and offended when retribution comes. Suddenly, the North Koreans or the IRA are the (only) bad guys in the situation. With clueless arrogance, heavily armed, we all march on.
What Goes On
in the mind of one who has killed one life or many - a poem for reflection. Vengeance breeds retaliation which is why I am pro-gun ownership by citizens. I want the biggest fasted deliverer of death every created available. If anyone comes looking for retribution in mass, managing to get past homeland and the military to reach our doors to squeeze triggers and acquire anything, I want to greet them with a warm welcome. Could I kill? Oh yeah. Will I burn in hell for it? I take the fifth.
