staring into the barrel of a gun is set to threaten

it may not even be flowing smoothly
nor in the violent nature of a personality
the tread of time is so ruthless that it 
tramples even the kings under its feet

why the necessity to nurse it with care
when it tramples all opposition who dare
is it not all too glaring in the midday sun
to offer none of an excuse to meekly run?

hey! is it not all too obvious seeing the act
of abandoning a cause trussed in a sack?
to accept responsibility is none of a bother
but to win accolades even at risks of murder?

not something to be tolerated in life's blessings
even if clearly caught in the cross-hair fuming
staring into the barrel of a gun is set to threaten
impacting as innocently as a kind of a challenge

  1. Some tasks you have to stare down, but then when real barrels come by those who want to rule over you and win, those types need to be shown their own barrel.
