My Life

machine gun lead throughout the war
a tropical paradise into hell
the dead and wounded
the nevermore
the blood, the gore
a legacy

I attach myself to stars
and see the earth from afar
a fragile globe so full of hate
a sadness, an angst, my fate

I 'save' lives
perhaps someone is keeping score
gore to kill
gore to save, more
my life is not my own
whose is?
