the bang bang from a drum
can be annoying at night
but not worse than the bang bang
from a gun, with people and blood
running in the streets
or the big bang from a bomb
dropped from skies when
people can’t get along
- Written for dVerse Quadrille #214: Going out with a bang the last quadrille prompt for 2024.
The bang sounds from the bomb is the most terrifying one of all.
