The Sound of the Gun

THE SOUND OF THE GUN
Sounds like a baby thunder 
But the blast discomforts the ears
And terrifies the spirit of man
Suddenly the gush of thick blood
Followed by uncontrollable wailing
And tearing of the heart into shreds.
Just one awful sound, end up producing 
So many sounds of agony and sorrow.
At last, unprepared journey begins
To the great beyond after the sudden 
Fall of regret and woes.
