Firing Squad
i feel the darkness surround me,
i know what fate lies ahead,
i sense the fear take over me,
i know i will soon be dead,
i hear the ground beneath me,
i know i must face my end,
i sense the guns select me,
their bullets my only friend,
the darkness is drawn from me,
and the light forced in my face,
i see the rifles before me,
my body now frozen in space,
i see my life spread out before me,
i see my oncoming end,
i hear the triggers pulled for me,
a bullet, the message they send,
i felt the darkness surround me,
their sights locked to my head,
i no longer have fear inside me,
my body now lies dead.
