"Victim of Fate" "Victim of Fate"
She stared down at the cold body,
Glancing at the freakishly empty eyes.
Her friend, once loved,
Was now lost forever-
His bright laughter
Muted by bold bullets.
The shots rang out-
The shots heard 'round the world? -
Deafening her, causing her to fall back in surprise.
All this pain, all this loss,
Over such a stupid situation.
It started weeks ago,
He simply told her the story of a murder.
Probing ears overheard,
Plotting their fatalistic revenge.
As the ears had done before,
So they did again.
And on that cold, cruel January night,
An innocent young man's life was taken.
