Life and Death In An Instance of Time

The flash of the light
The bang of the sound
The body and bullet caught in an instance of time
The thud on the ground
The smoke disappears into the cold, dead air as does the soul of your life.

The smile in your eyes
The romance in your heart
The sorrows of your mind
The joys of your life
Stripped away by one bullet from my gun, by the sad insanity of our kind.

In this madness of time
In this weird game of life
You lose on this day with your life
I live to see the next fight.
