A Question Only The Dead Can Answer

By veingo

I have a question.

I'm bleeding.

I want to know.

Barely breathing.

Stand back. Let me get closer.
I'm not coming back till I know.

Who put the gun in my hand?

I can see it.

Who put the thought in my head?

This must be it.

Stand back. Let me get closer.
I'm not coming back till I know.

Someone answer.

Then I'll fight.

Someone tell me,

if I was right.

I'll die trying, if I have to.
But I won't share my answer with you.

I thought that only the tangible could be destroyed.

we all ask questions and our greatest mistake is not sharing the valuable answer, that is how old skills are lost in the world of today... beautifully rendered tho...
