Torrents

Rain
Fell from the sky
In torrents
While little boys and girls hid
Because a grown up with a gun
Wanted to kill them all
His children saw him come home
Drenched, not with water
But with red, and
They shunned him, and the life he led
But, went on to kill grown ups instead
And somewhere, an old man
Got out his guitar and asked
Yet again
“How many deaths will it take, till he knows;
That too many people have died?”


The Bilge Master
