Poetry really isn't my thing, so I can only use free verse...
Guns loaded
Safety off
Trigger happy survivors
slip into the night.
Weathered faces
Graying hair
Not a single young face among them.
Their
husbands
wives
mothers
fathers
children
stolen from them by their
husbands
wives
mothers
fathers
children.
They crave
revenge
or better yet
reprieve from the hopelessness
that envelops them all.
But for now,
they slip into the night
safety off
guns loaded
ready to claim the former
until the latter arrives.
