nothing matters to me
in this world anymore
a man with no faith
in God nor humanity.
Though I fear not death
I dread mere oblivion
and will not fade away
into decrepit old age.
Thus I take up arms
against my fate as
like a god I tower
over the scene beneath
in absolute control
of all that I survey
ready to unleash
my pitiless rain.
I shoot out the pane
and take aim and fire
again, again and again
spewing my bullets
into the crowd below
watching in ecstasy
as they scream and fall.
The police are here
but they are too late
for I am going out
in a blaze of glory
blowing out my brains
to finish my story
ensuring my name
will be remembered
for a thousand years.
