Bang, bang see how it ring


               
Bang! You’re dead
Bang! The sound most people attribute to me…
Bang! They said he died, now his soul is free….
Bang, bang, bang!…the weapons of the cowards n’fools.
Bang! Bang! , necessary  for use as a policeman’s tool.
Bang , bang how much longer will that sound ring?
Bang!, bang!,  feeling like a man with this powerful thing!
Bang, bang  she made everyone cry,with that sad song she sang.
Bang, bang what I’m used for , I don’t choose, people abuse
Bang bang they all dead, make a  positive change, before we all lose.

    I like the repetition of the onomatopoeia, Bang!

    Very concise, no abstract nonsense here, good job!

    It is a sad state of affairs with this is the sound of the norm. You have brilliantly penned the need for change in simple sight and sound. Well done. ~Pamela

    I have just watched on the news

    the lunatic shooting in Finland. Bang! Bang! You're dead! This is no game. Even in Australia, the guns on the blackmarket seem to be on the increase although life is a little safer here.
    Thank you for your poem of statement.
    Lyndon.

      Thanks!

      Yes, it really is a sad thing that though the gun itself can't think, the idiots using it
      decide they are givers and takers of life! Thanks again for reading.

    You've given the gun, an inanimate object, a  loud, powerful voice. what a great take just on one word as a prompt. Good Luck with this.   Von

    I am assuming the song was by Cher? a wonderful song by a favourite artist. A poem that has so much relevance in todays world Seems the rule of the gun wins every argument.Sadly i see no end to it. It is to ingrained into the way of life A excellent write Good luck in the contest

    All I hear is gunshots! All i see is negativity! I love the imagery created by the repetive "Bang". good luck in the contest.
