Looking through
barrel of a gun
Stories emerge
of a broken one
Soul melted
Heart wrench
Tears fall
Metal stench
Empty shells
Swollen eyes
Colours fade
Death arrives
How to stop
human race
extinction through
its own device

“Fragile” by Sting ~If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow’s rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime’s argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are…
