overkill <br />when someone is found stabbed fifty times <br />they call it a crime of passion because of overkill <br />when I write a poem or prose <br />it sometimes is overkill and often <br />what I write is a crime in somebody's mind <br />passionate..... maybe..... but not always <br />sometimes I just explore or look without touching <br />cop a feel so to speak <br />sneak a peek of the goods without buying <br />sometimes I just needed a drink and not a drunk <br />other times I want to get shit faced <br />but prefer a bed or floor to the gutter <br />even when they are one in the same <br />it's true while in war <br />I prefer the 'scorched earth' technique <br />to that of 'if we could only talk to our enemies' approach <br /> when I write I tend to lean towards overkill...... <br />because after all is said and done <br />in the end there may be some poor bastard <br />who feels he still needs an explanation <br /> <br />that is..... if anyone is left alive...... <br /> <br />2007 © Ted Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-can-never-exterminate-everything-or-everyone-no-matter-what-the-global-warming-crowd-claims-is-true/
