Thirsty
Like a man
He takes a swig
His head cocked back
So the running water flows
Into his mouth
And down his throat
His thirst is quenched
Until he is shot
And he falls
Mouth open, gasping
Blood coughing
Spattering
Man down 'ol chum
As they all run past him
He's seeing his last vision
Something no one else has seen
It is a scene from where he lives
That he will never see again
As he grows thirsty
He grows weary
As he knows
His end is near
He wants a smoke
To Dull his pain
But deep inside he knows
That feeling is just a joke
And reaching into his coat
Seems like a task
Commanded by God
It's so hard to do so he doesn't
A man of God he is
But when his heart has almost stopped
He doesn't really care
And so he lays
Himself to death
While guns are fired
And screams of pain and
Death and agony
Surround him
He's at peace
He sees his wife
His kid of only thirteen months
He wished them well
His eyelids fell
And he slipped into a slumber
And slumber he did
