Bang Bang

In the glow of the screen, typing dreams in the dark,

A quiet boy's mind lit the virtual spark.

Thoughts uncensored, words let loose,

Didn't know the storm that his truth might produce.

A post like a whisper, a shout in the feed,

Didn't see the wave, how the silence would bleed.

Knocking the keys, he was talking alone,

But the whole wide world made his thoughts their own.

Sirens cut the night like a razor blade,

Shadows on the walls from the choices he made.
