I'm gonna die

by

Frank Blacharczyk

I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die

gotta gun in my hand, ready

to fight the enemy, the elusive enemy.

Is he over there? Is he over here?

I’m gonna die because I don’t know why,

where the enemy hides.

Shadows dance over there, over here.

Gotta gun in my hands don’t know why

shooting at shadows that don’t stop dancing.

I really don’t hate anybody, though don’t like anybody either.

So why am I here?

The mirror is my enemy, what I see isn’t what I am.

There is no God who entertains, when seeking the enemy who is here, there and everywhere

but nowhere.

The entertainers sing and dance , here and there

like flames of fires creating a shadowy play,

deceptive against a moonlit wall.

I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die I shoot my gun,

because the shadows dance and I don’t know why.
