A Question Only The Dead Can Answer

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.

"I thought only the tangible could be destroyed."......this haunts me and i cant really find the right words to say or the right way to put how breaking this was. just know that i now am forming my own questions....im lost.

a dangerous assumption........ hunting down the symptoms of the 'gun in hand'......is a noble cause.... damn ... this cuts to the core.

many believe only what they know, which means they will never believe the unspoken truths. beautifully put questions.

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...
