• As the gunshots were fired,
    There are those
    Who would rather die fighting
    Than to stay alive by a thread.
    Some would wonder
    What’s more painful?
    To die by an axe?
    Or to die by a rope?
    They would wonder
    While pacing
    In a prison cell.
    They hear
    Screaming
    From outside.
    That’s the only time
    They are glad
    They’re inside,
    And not out.
    But they still fear
    Because there’s a chance
    They’ll be called out
    To fight.
