The Cross I bear for the one you wear

By A poet of madness

You do not get to hold the gun
And pull the trigger too
You may find this statement ridiculous
I did once
When my eyes were closed
After all
You're just a hateful moron
The problem is
You're telling someone fires don't exist
And my theatre is fucking crowded
I'm choking on smoke
I'm starving and thirsting
For a concession stand I will never know
And you could help
But you choose not to
So
I repeat
You do not get to hold the gun
And pull the trigger too
