Little Boys and Thunder

by Bryon D. Howell

Little boys and thunder
always bring the rain
such mystery and wonder
such misery and pain

Little men in peril
striving to be heard
raised just to be virile
and that is so absurd

Little boys and anger
bottled up inside
a recipe for danger
no peace can override

As little people grow
they follow what they see
they always think they know
just what they want to be

Little lads can fail
when shown a stormy path
a wrong turn can unveil
the thunder and its wrath

Lambs without their shepherds
sometimes lose their way
kittens act like leopards
fall to your knees and pray

Shows rang out like thunder
it's happened once again
how many dead I wonder
teardrops fall like rain

Little boys and ammo
always bring a storm
leaving pain and sorrow
murder's not a norm

Boys are little boys
all should run and play
give them back their toys
and take the guns away
