Emerging out of nowhere,
Like an unexpected plague
Deadly men come unannounced,
And all I can do is stare
*
I see them coming; ominous and grey,
I see them forming; danger all around
Like creeping vines, they pull you in,
Covering their captives as if to play
*
Nothing stops them,
Nothing will
Shades of color dance around,
Black, red, black, or nothing at all
*
Never missing a soul,
Guns. . .eyes. . . go through the town
Silent killers they are,
Unleashed to fulfill their nasty goal
*
Soon they reach me, with a whisper in my ear,
Triumph lines their very tongues
Cold, heartless, cruel; I am surrounded,
Within the haze, the fog, I disappear
