Our Hero

 

He was there, in the crowd.

People, choked with emotion,

gazed at him with admiration.

He was proud, yet so humble.

Weak, yet so powerful.

 

Soon, harsh reality replaced the

pleasant oblivion.

The trigger was pulled, and in

the midst of chaos two bloody

hands grasped life, just a moment,

before it slipped away.

 

Then all was done.

And thousands of dreams were lost

because of one person's insanity.
