this an older one I wrote along time ago when I first went through my divorce.
WHY ?
The world has been cast into Darkness
With a deep haze over its eyes.
We all play Russian Roulette
And life is our only prize.
But who cares to win this game
Only to wake wake up in the morning again?
They pass me the gun
To see if today I will win.
If I pull the trigger
And hear the hammer fall,
I look around and am still alive
Can I even call this winning at all?
Why do we even play? Why do we wake up and see if he is going to call our name today? Will we be done in or will life cheat us again? When will it be over with, when will life let us go and stop beating us like the bully it is? When will GOD let us come home. In Heaven he promised no more tears, pain or even hunger. PLEASE, take me now! Put seven rounds in a six round clip and hand back the gun, NOW lets play this game. Do I lose? Do I win? I pull on the trigger, the hammer cocks back and then flies free. It hits the butt of an anxiously awaiting bullet and it fires. The bullet knows his target and flies happily out of the chamber with determination. It plows through me, but no entrance or exit wounds are to be found. Why? Why was the bullet denied its only job, the only thing a bullet is made for, to sit for a time be fired and kill. Because there is no gun no bullet and no real game, just life and we have to live it. Regardless of how unfair we think it is or how it is going, when it is our time we will know it and there will be nothing we will be able to do about it.
