STRANGE indictment of the world today ???
A year ago on Friday 13th November, the world, Facebook, news was full of the Paris shootings, bombings & general wholesale murder of innocents by loony & psychotic extremists! The “Tricolour” was everywhere…….
A YEAR on and nobody has hardly mentioned it on all media as above…..
SO I will re post my poem written x 2 days later in anger and disgust called “Lambs and Guns” which is on Page 9 of the nationally published “Conflict – The World At War” by Forward Poetry Society !!! It is also in my fourth and new book “Life Scenes in Verse” by My Voice Publishing out soon

Lambs and Guns
I am naked except for my clothes
No match for knives, bombs and gun.
You can kill me anytime you want
For my only defence is to run.
You are fully armed to your teeth
A veritable arsenal moving on legs,
So you can slaughter and maim at will
No matter how much your victim begs,
As they relax, carefree on a beach,
At a cafe, or maybe a music hall.
Thus your foul war on the unarmed
Ensures that only the innocents fall!
Creeping, slithering, making your plans
Hiding in shadows behind a locked door.
Disgusting cowards, strapping on bombs
For your sick, ambushing war.
Thus you avoid, and wont bring to combat
Any trained and well armed man.
So you stick to putrid sewers,
And attack like only scum can.
For I am naked except for my clothes
No match against knife, bombs and gun.
You can try to kill me anytime you want,
But it’s not my only defence, to run.
So stalk our free world, trying to see
Easy targets like lambs, unaware at play,
Your brainwashed mind and smoking gun
Will never earn a winners sway.
