Confessions of a Gun

The twitch of a finger
Can pull back my trigger
And shape a pair of lifeless eyes.
My sorrow's pang
Goes off with a bang,
And I watch as another dies.
The hands that hold me
Are the ones that control me
And use me against my will.
But they don't give a damn,
I am what I am.
I only live
To kill.

This is so amazing! A lot of people don't realize guns were made to kill and it's refreshing to hear something that doesn't worship the weapon but talks about its actual purpose. I loved the rhyme scheme and the word choice. I'm glad it wasn't too long, it got staright to the point! Sorry I keep going on, I just feel like good poems deserve praise :)

*shiver* Wow, that is truly incredible. It's voice is low and deadly and dangerous, possibly a bit cavalier as well.
