There were no villains in this story-
only victims.

The murdered were the murderers
for whilst they did not rob his life.
They robbed his mind,
his sanity, his sense,
his reason and his meaning for survival.

Catcalls, jeers, taunts and laughs
rang loud in his ears
and crushed any breath of real life
he might have had left.

'Til he acted without sense, he acted with a reason, and he acted on impulse.

Something had snapped
and the echoing gunshots,
pools of blood were
the only things that made sense
to a boy lacking any.

Then his hand pulled the trigger
and wielded the final blow
as he aimed it at his head.

He was punished before his crime.
They crimed before they were punished.

Perhaps a better line would be:

There are no victims in this story.
Only villains.

I am a wilted black rose. Searching for cracks of sunlight, to nurture me. And to help me grow.

it's a little bit of both. basically the recent shooting inspired it, but it is also to get a deeper message across.

thanks.

Oooh! I love the layout on this one, looks awesome, and it is of course even better in content.
Really good Kurst.
Back for good, or just a passing visit?

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?
