356th Post

A lightning flash.

Reveals a brief glimpse.
Of a shadowy figure.

Poised to strike.

The misfortune.
Of one who sees it.
He pays with his life.

The pain is brief.
To the point of being non existent.

Another night.
Another statistic on the kill board.

A price others must pay.
For the sake of my own survival.

Because in the end.
Everyone only thinks about themselves.

Selfish?
An evil necessity.

If you wish to survive out there.
Then someone must take the fall.

In the end.
No one is perfect.

Because in us.
Exists one or more.
Of the seven sins.
