Distress

The boy was so young,
His father owning so many guns.
Many times little Andy was left home alone,
Exploring the places unknown.
Stumbling upon a mysterious closet one day,
Little Andy saw something interesting and wanted to play.
He grabbed the item off the shelf,
Pointed it up at himself.
Wondering what the trigger would do,
He pulled it and suddenly knew.
Later that night his father came home to quite a mess,
Seeing that little Andy had been laid to rest.
