Your car on the crossroad, the moonshine was so sharp
Shard incised deep inside
Broken window and a familiar feeling in the stomach
Footprints vanish in the distance
Gun is nowhere to be seen
The head full of mess
The fear for the family
To take the fate on one’s shoulders?
To offer sacrifice so great?
To sacrifice one’s life
It will flow through the fingers like a sand
To catch just a few grains and live through a little part
The little part of that which people ceased to honour
You are sitting on your bench, musing, staring to the void
Where is justice? Where has (where’s) humanity gone?
This night like that time. Everything is coming back…
You see it like it was today…
Just one thought in the head
One lost gun
One lost life
Is there a chance to see the sun again?
