We Run

Swiftly along the sand

We run

A heavy barrel lies in my hand

We run

Sweat trickling down my cheeks

We run

Ears deafened by screams

We run

Eyes filled with waiting tears

We run

Legs grow weary

We run?

Lungs burn at each breathe

We run?

Gunshots fire, and all stops

We no longer run.
