A Bullet Named Terror

the house shines bright, it takes every light

sleep refuses to dream, a reverie extreme

the plan to outsmart, a shot in the dark

trigger for a steel mention, the spelling of my name

directed to a lead core, dead center to each letter

primed for flight, a jacket of lead dares our right

a ripping force of violent heat, to rupture complete

rendered lethal for the take down, a fatal round

chambered by a sniper, posted at heaven’s door
