Treeshot

When they saw you running

over a bunch of people walking carefree

and started screaming out

in the middle of the street like a wounded beast.


And later when you shot the trees

and left your gun upon the dinner table

beside the salad plate

where the mother's head lay still


They must have guessed that nothing was something to hang on

They must have prayed to their God to keep you away from anybody else's harm

cause that was all they ever cared to do


Chased away, inside a burning circle

Your rage would play with you

Odd boy you are, you never grew up

where are your manners

as you wipe off the red stains


The bell that rang the other day

could not invite the kids out in the schoolyard

and everyone is mute

as for what such a quiet kid could hide


Inside the nasty flag,

outside the clean-cut asshole with the ironed shirt

who’s slipping through suspicion

hidden behind the veil of an invisible man

Until when?


And now they know that something was never ok

And now they know that something was in your way,

something they wanted to avoid...


Chased away, inside a burning circle

your rage would play with you

Odd boy you are,you never grew up

where are your manners

as you wipe off the red stains...
