We are the fools of Time and Terror: Days<br /> Steal on us, and steal from us; yet we live,<br /> Loathing our life, and dreading still to die.<br /> &mdash; Lord George Gordon Byron

The sound of gunfire

Watch out! Bewildered and onward as the bullets propel themselves forward

The origin point the stray bullet a nihilistic mystic for hire

The damned and the youth; Those whom were of uncouth subculture

Delusions of utter grandeur; Godlike in this institution

Marked by little hesitation; Product of commercialization and degradation

Blinded by no sense of worth and the catalyst of certain resolution

Bullet of the voiceless child wasting those that he reviled; Microscopic manifestation

Transcendence with no recompense; alleged justice that commence

Taking that which independence granted and bathing in his ascendence
