1367 - Bird of prey

A lone taxi driver on the rampage
Shooting innocent bystanders, but why?
Twelve dead in Cumbria; what was the rage
And impotence that led them all to die?
A man called Birdy, he decides to fly
The nest of life, and take others down too
Wrong place, wrong time, poor souls. This man drives by
Winds down his window and fires, but at who?
Does it matter? Random revenge for too
Uncaring a world. L’étranger. This page
Will turn, but there’s no end to the story
Of disaffection people must go through
Murderers are normal, quiet, till the stage
Of complete collapse and a loud goodbye
