Shaking Box

Shaking Box As I sit alone inside this chasm of death, Where the box shakes and the room bleeds, I am left with the choice of foe or friend, For the gun forces me to choose who is filled with greed. As I look upon my childhood friends, I can’t help but think, That the thing that keeps me alive is time… And the pull of the trigger is slower than upward raindrops. Force me to choose, volatile fiend! For I cannot stand to see my fellow being be determined by my answer. But when the sound is silent, I try not to be violent, But the shaking box always worries me…
