Poetry

By

J.J.Campbell

settle those trembling hands

put a bullet

in the chamber

and say goodbye

settle those trembling

hands with a little

scotch

god no longer cares

your father never

loved you

your mother always

considered you a

burden

and the rest of the

family doesn’t have

time for the abused

ask for any usable

organs to be donated

and the remains

turned to ashes

tucked away in a

crease of time

see if anyone bothers

to discover their guilt

some like to wait for death

my doctor told me

i should really cut

back on how much

alcohol i drink

i laughed and now

make sure every

drink is twice

as strong

some like to

wait for death

i’d rather make

it a sprint
