BANG Another heart shattered by broken promises BANG One more bone fractured by a life unraveling in alcohol BANG A bullet wound from piercing insults and accusations goes untended BANG Another nation torn apart by differences and misunderstandings BANG The chair slips out from beneath his feet and another broken heart is forgotten BANG One more shot of ****** is traveling through her veins like spider webs that suffocate her sorrows BANG Another child soldier dragged into battle, bloodied and scarred on the outside as well as within BANG Gun violence takes another victim, an irrelevant child sent to the grave BANG The familiar sound of all this unjustifiable **** hitting the wall. The sound of prison gates closing too late. The sound of a life ended too early. The sound of another moment lost. BANG The only noise capable of encompassing the sight and sound and feeling of "gone" Who keeps reloading the gun?
