The Meeting
By Jason Morton
The feeling was in the air
A palpable sensation of terror
How had it come so far
that one can't remember who they are
***
Musical rhythms pound from clubs nearby
and a crow takes flight high in the sky
Nervously on approach one considers what to say
not knowing they should go the other way
***
Coming so far there was no stopping
not knowing that soon one body would be dropping
Hello to the darkness in my old friend
he wasn't himself, until the end
***
Shots rang out in the night
millions stunned by that shocking sight
One, Two, Three right in the chest
missing the head they all went in the vest
***
One walked away calmly like it was business as usual
while one lay in the trashy alley, nothing unusual
About the Creator

I have always enjoyed writing and exploring new ideas, new beliefs, and the dreams that rattle around inside my head. I have enjoyed the current state of science, human progress, fantasy and existence and write about them when I can.
