Buzz!
The bee hovers over the land
It’s soft wings slice the air
Producing the noisy hum
It intercepts the road
Entering a slow moving car
Stinging the unlucky victim
Car swerves off road
Coasting off a cliff
Horn blares into the night
As black as an eight ball

Boom!
The car thunderously explodes
Sending a deafening sound
Drifting off into an abyss
Piercing the ears of the dead
The echo of the noise
Bounces into a million more
Shrapnel slashes everything around
Blood pools around the wound
Sound of the last gasp for air
Life such a fragile thing
