Array ( [sid] => 28492 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Death [time] => 2003-12-03 00:52:54 [hometext] => I felt like writing something off the top of my head and here it is! [bodytext] => The bullet enters my flesh
I can feel the blood trickle out of my wound
I am going to die.

I was only walking
Sure it was in the wrong neighborhood but I never thought it could happen to me
I think I am dying

Is this how my life is going to end?
Here alone in some alley
Will no one stop me from dying?

When will our world be safe?
Can we ever be safe?
Will there ever be peace?
Will the death stop?

I gasp for my breath
My clothes are soaked from the blood.
My final breath leaves me
I am finally dead

Caught in the line of fire not in a battle, or a war
I was only walking
Sure it was in the wrong neighborhood but I never thought it could happen to me
I dyed because of violence in our streets [comments] => 1 [counter] => 789 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Iesha [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

your point comes across clearly and the imagery is very graphic that was good too

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
