Too Little Much Not Quality Time, Spent Depressed, Sober

by Randall Rogers

take another toke
have another hit
of life
on your way to the
final upsetting
of some balance
that once held sway
a mind not divided cannot withstand
the willful self of destruction
the spiral up down of drugs
alcohol
too many women
too much wine
enough of this time
and bango! the decision, irrevocably made
plans not well laid,
for your exit of choice
trigger finger rejoice
squeezing off a leaded round
through mouth bound cranium and beyond? bound
decision made
I degraded a spade
infanticide, regicide,
a genocide of a
spontaneoussuicide!! Plonk goes a bullet.
