Annihilation Unavoidable

- Annihilation Unavoidable-
by Keaton Foster



His finger
Upon the trigger
His enemy
In his sights
Death's delight
Life’s true fight
Kill or be killed
One lives
While another dies
Both have families
Both face duality
And must live
With the rationality
Over the killing
Of a fellow human being
God above
Oh how he’ll judge
Who should win
Who should die
Is anyone right
Or is everyone wrong
Is this just a case
A wanting display
A variable set in place
Long ago
Way before now
Was this part of the plan
Or a side effect of man
One left
To his own defenses
Annihilation unavoidable
Always in the cards
Fates cruelest hand
What a sadistic bitch
If you give people
Just enough rope
Rest assured
They will hang themselves
Mortal until the end
Enemy or friend
Shooter or victim
One must die
So that another lives
Whose turn will it be
Seems to at least me
A case of no rhyme
Nor reason
Luck of the draw
Down the barrel of a gun
To the left of the lungs
His finger
Upon the trigger
His enemy
In his sights
Deaths delight
Life’s true fight
Kill or be killed
I’d like to say
That it ain’t so
But without question
I fear that I cannot
Someone is gonna die here
Someone always does
Annihilation unavoidable
More part of our DNA
Than most
We will destroy each other
While we eliminate those
We see as our enemies
Who is right
And who is wrong
Depends where you’re standing
And sometimes where you’re standing
Is the difference between life and death
Will God save any of us
Ultimately I fear not…
