'A Revelation'

by Rick Reiley


It came to his attention

As the bullets splintered wood

Things were not as peaceful

As he had thought he understood


Exhibit number two appeared

As the bullets shattered glass

Perhaps there was some displeasure

With his actions from the past


He grabbed his tea and hit the deck

Reaching for his phone

Quickly dialing 9-1-1

He learned no one was at home


If one goes spreading anger

It should come as no surprise

When one starts losing sleep

And bullets start to fly


If one survives to breathe again

And holds this privilege dear

Then one may be inclined to spread

Hope instead of fear
