Killing should take longer than the brandishment of a gun.
Long enough for conscience to get in the way…& have won.
Murder should be slower than lizard sparks of the mind.
Frontal lobes should fire up; so action’s not led by hind.
Harm should induce nausea; like herbicide for baser blooms.
Volume should cause pain; so temps wont boil over one home’s rooms.
I cannot be alone in thinking this may aid our lot.
The costs for hate & anger more immediate than not.
Some people are revulsed by these; they are not my concern.
It’s those who act on impulse without pauses to discern.
