Trapped

Blood and bullet
caught in the trap
a cycle of crime
next time
run but where
scream but silence
face the fire and wave
no time to save.

I can feel the pain in this one. So many are being injured or killed in crime/s these days and the one not injured or killed is left with a warped wounded life which probably will be very hard to repair if at all. Thanks for sharing it with us. Sara

Thanks. We are caught in this vicious cycle and there is no escape for the innocent.
