there's no way your surprised he died.

the longest gun drawn from his side.

how could he survive the stride of a pistol
drawn in the wind?

besides, he deserved that plight,
i've observed his pride,
the type that'll fly him so high
& drop him in the same pivot,
the type that'll dry his soul's eyes
then close them w/ cement.

sooner or later, he'd pass on,
i guess 'now' was the time for him.
