Shattered


A person wakes up and makes a choice,
to end a life, and his.

A life laid out on a page.
He quotes C.S. Lewis,
Chesterton and the Bible.

But, he awoke this morning and dressed.
Placed the guitar on his bed,
and replaced it with an AK-47.

Still time to change his mind 
as he weaves through the midday traffic.

Driving down the tree filled drive, 
beneath the new, green leaves-
does he notice the beauty surrounding him?

Taking the guitar case from the trunk,
he walks with purpose towards his destiny-
to shatter a life, and end his own.
