The Bullet
The Bullet
By Nathan Hannen
This torpedo of death smashed the heart
This precious gift of life is torn apart
It was this that allowed us to play our part
Spearing through lives and breaking peace
Never told and never asked just sleaze
I can't go on, I am not that strong, Appease
Congratulations you have just killed another
An old man, His sister, Or it might have been your brother
In a quiet place there is a girl and her lover
The power they have does not permit them cover
When piercing fragments attempt to write a thesis
No one man can be there to pick up the pieces
There may be losses and leakage of our species
But remember blood is life and there are leeches
There is a boy playing under a morning sky
A man pretending to feel sorry for his lie
The end is black and the stars say it is nigh
The lady cries in pity, A mirrored image in her eye
Tell me this and explain that in a second
Its something that we couldn't comprehend and only reckoned
The stars are not scattered, Just sectioned
A body grove in the soil with a stench of death
The putrid stain of blood on blood with no breath
The lord will lay these souls to rest
The End.
