Do Not Snipe From The Long Grass – Written October 2006 (Aged 31)

Do Not Snipe From The Long Grass

you should just say it,
just say what you believe
please,
don’t hold back,
if it deals with the grief
if you believe –
that he walked out on you
just because he,
in your mind is autistic
well,
you should just say it
if you believe –
we have no relationship
because i am autistic
you should just say it
if you believe they are unruly
because they are autistic
you should just say it
if you believe –
he had autism
and it was genetically passed on
you should just say it
do not crouch in shadows
as you do
be deliberate and out in the open
to this hell,
give some of it its final end
you should just say it
do not snipe from the long grass
we have been under –
this dark black cloud you created
and we have all become tired
from playing in this farce
you should just say it




James Garratt – October 2006
