A Pale Gun

a pale gun stares in the face of fear everyday

a pale gun hears the heartbeat of the victim pause, run then stop altogether

a pale gun doesn't want to release, but with the force of its holder ends happiness, ego, sorrow, fear, joy, love. pain.

a pale gun has taken guilt away from the holder,

a pale gun now feels guilty for all the power it has given to the holder, and because it has taken the guilt away with every aim it cannot tame, the holder doesn't feel the guilt anymore.

a pale gun watches a son, daughter, father, mother begin and end. a pale gun says the beginning of the victim was the true expression, feeling and sickness of the enemy we call 'fear' and the ending of this victim is the ending of this victim.

there is nothing much to the life of a pale gun. it knows it causes the beginning and end. the pale gun now feels nothing, the guilt, shame, fear, sickness was in every bullet, the bullet then dug its way into the victim and thats what the victim felt till the end.

the end. until another beginning, followed by yet another end.
