K.I.I.

Killed in
  Action:

             The steps thunder like a stallion
             The final destination is reached
             The gun is drawn. 

Killed in
  Action:

             The boy right out of high school
             The man right out of Dresden
             The boy's clip is empty.
             He raises his hands to the Heavens
             The man's gun is loaded
             He raises it to his shoulder.

Killed in
  Action:

             Desperation leaks from his salty sweat
             A human caught in the headlights
             A boy caught in a noose.

Killed in
  Action:

             A boy who knew no love
             A boy who lived no life
             A boy who was only that. 

Killed in
   Innocence:

            The shell flies out
            The boy falls down
            A face forgotten.
            A life never told.
