His life for your life

Rubiyat Poem
His Life For Your Life
 
 
Into his mouth, he breathes in the lead.
His soul turns to black, his face turns to red.
A click of the trigger, turns on his sleep.
He doesn’t take sense, but boundaries instead.
 
This street is the marker of a gang’s domain,
Whoever crosses will find themselves slain.
You will not be missed and no one will weep,
in a world made of children, a world made of pain.
 
Yet comes now a hero who dares to come in-
the menacing hatred and of killing sin,
with bandage and gaze to hold back the flood.
This complete stranger, but a brother within.
 
Known as a medic or doctor to some,
but still as a hero in these city slums.
And though life is drown in meaningless blood.
His life for your life -no matter where you come from.
