    SHELL


    As I awake from my sleep
    Mortal pain grips my soul
    I try to scream so deep
    But no sound come from below
    I scream and scream again
    Why is all the noise held within
    Louder and louder I will go
    Still no sound will show

    Despartly trying to move my hand
    Left and right and forward again
    I can see it on the bed
    Just laying there playing dead
    Why can't you move I think in despair
    Then I see it's still lying there
    What has happened to me
    All I can do is see

    Then the rush comes so fast
    The truth I know at long last
    Shot down in the prime of life
    Had managed to save my wife
    The gunmans bullet had struck the spine
    While standing between hers and mine
    My brain is all that functions now
    Hope to get by somehow
    There's no chance of getting well
    I'm stuck inside this frozen shell.

    That was a great piece and very deep. Like I was there..enjoyed it.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
