Sometimes
people throw things
not caring
where they land,
whose head they smash

after all
pain is but perception
misdirected,
no one’s blame

I wonder
if they wonder
if they’re the only ones,
or if they know
today their voices joined
in angry chorus
with others

to make certain
by nightfall
a smashed head
would seem a blessing

hmmm, maybe get a hard hat?
maybe the next time they'll accidentally throw a boomerang?

Duncan, the images you pull out with this write are pretty frightening and that makes this a strong and thought-provoking write.  and I have to go to bed now with this on my mind....no way.  Think I'll go read one to sooth me down a bit.   .....jo

I wonder
if they wonder
if they’re the only ones,

~*~

Sometimes it seems that way,
when folks don't see the big picture...

that we're all in this, together...

You don't write enough...
tell me about the bugs in your tomato garden...
bugs are always good for a poem...

Hmm! Let me see if I can come up with a plan to save some heads! Aha! I've got it! We should all put on our halos! lol

But just in case that doesn't work, keep your head on straight while everyone around you is losing theirs!

perhaps they don't know, because you cannot give something that you don't know?  

Good one

A thought-provoking chorus~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

An angry chorus??  Sounds pretty special, it wasn't me,  I swear!!  
But I can see how an honest explanation could be misinterpreted,
simply because the truth hurts.  I  hope you didn't break anything Dunc.
