Just for a moment
Just for a moment ,
Put yourself in the war
of the blue and the gray.
Balls of molded lead
passing within hearing distance
of that stubborn skull of yours.
Wondering the identity of the asassin
be he cousin , or no.
Just for a moment ,
picture the world.
See the chaos of a battle of all.
A maniac wanting all power,
Putting a species through hell
for their physical appearance.
Though just a man
on a sphere , in the vastness of space.
Just for a moment,
See the streets of the city.
Fear in the eye of all passing by,
accepting the punks around each corner
who live by mere extortion.
Trading currency for powdered death ,
Throwing pain from a speeding car,
and life , from the urban nights .
Just for a moment ,
see the victims faces.
Full of peace of mind
knowing that
wherever they will go
Must be better
than the existing violence
on the rock they call home.
Just for a moment,
the pain was all but obvious.
Although flesh is not eternal,
suffering may be.
It may start at any time ,
but may not end
when you hang your head ,
and cry.
