Beautiful silence
December 12, 2009
Beautiful silence
Abruptly interrupted by gunfire
Reality reveals itself once again
Accompanied by the stench of death which plagues the air
Here, death isn’t just a thought
It’s a reality
It’s the knot that sits heavily in your stomach
The uncertainty
Some fear it, some welcome it
Some dread, some rejoice
For some it is the escape from the hell in which we are imprisoned
Certainly hell is more comforting than this
I’m tired of this torture
I’m tired of this death
I yearn for once again
Beautiful silence
