The Falling Man

I could have been The Falling Man.

No opinions. No intentions of disrespect.

Only a surreal psuedo-pessimist thought.

Always felt something inscrutable

in that drop.

 

**My reference don't tend a joke.

Please don't fuel any sorta controversy.**

 

But can't deny to wonder what

the thoughts would be,

during that fall.

Will the whole spent life flash

in front of our eyes?

Do we become the kindest, humblest of the few and the worthy human

ever lived in that moment?

Do we wish for some last miracle?

Do we still have ourselves cling to

the last scrap of hope of life again?

 

As I am writing this, my tears

no more stay tamed inside my eyes,

And my heart goes for the massacre lose.

Lose of lives. Loss of humanity.

Old news, yeah, but still hits the soul.

 

And the fall taunts my thoughts

as I too beg for a second chance

myself.

I shall revive. This is my life.

This thought shall universally exist

and be reasoned with.
