Unforeseen consequences, aftermath is a disaster

��� of blood spattered on cold pavement

lying prostrate, gasping and asking to be saved

Red rivulets of regret, miscalculations led to death

Nomad warrior, fearlessness and fortitude

���������� Insanity is not a recipe for vitality

�� Final terminus before the stairway to Heaven

Chemical sunset of a Los Angeles night,

������� starlight and streetlights phosphorescent

Staring up into the glaring luminosity

��� Blaring lights, blurred vision and L.A.P.D. squad cars

��������������������������� shimmering on the horizon

Black, white, vision tinted crimson

���������������� film of smoke obscures comprehension

����� flashing red and blue, 80 miles per hour of futile efforts

Sirens wail and surreal hail thunders down from the clouds

Paramedics hazy and faded on the outskirts of awareness

���� Thought he would care but it all seems meaningless now

Nothing to show for a lifetime of fast cars and fast girls

and not a single connection

�� Watching a cartoon but he�s the main character

Not reality since the pain is a hallucination

��� Bird�s eye view omnisciently observing the situation

�������� puddle of ethanol and hemoglobin

as backstabbers vanish into the burg,

������������������������������������������������������ Forever.
