gunSPEAK

A guttural language

Of bangs and clicks

It translates well

To screams and whimpers

The trigger forces the mouth

To explode in speech

The bullet carries the sound

To its target with brutality

A reloading of shells

The clinking and clanking

Resembles tears

Dripping to the ground

The contemplation of violence

Is no more than the conveyance of speech

As one speaks to another

So does one impose upon them the danger

Of the gun speech

We pull the trigger

As easily as we speak the words

That will in no doubt

End all of our lives

Within a single-step process
