Broken Promises

Bordering on insanity, going mad
A promising youth, turning bad
Career opportunities, turning sour
As the meaning of life, he can't devour
He awoke one morning, his mind exploding with pain
Voices in his head, telling him to maim
The world owed him nothing, the public didn't matter
They told him he was more cunning, than them he was smarter
He got out of bed and quickly got dressed
As the voices had told him, he was blessed
The chosen one, he had become
And to show his faith, he was to get a gun
He left the house and went to the store
He purchased a rifle, some ammunition and more
Now find a safe haven, the voices they said
For one hour of insanity, there would be many dead
He went to the clock tower, in a busy street
Climbing to the top, he could feel the heat
The voices telling him, to keep his cool
He would show them, he was no fool
He quickly took aim, at the people below
And pulled at the trigger, to let the first bullet go
The first body fell, quickly to the ground
The voices told him, his future was found
He now fired at random, the people they dropped
Onlookers ran for cover, screaming with shock
The youth smiled with delight, the voices yelled die
For all the broken promises, it was all a big lie
There was now only one bullet, left in the gun
He had killed thirty, wounding not one
The voices said son, the last one is for you
Take your own life, is what you must do
He put the barrel in his mouth and said a short prayer
He pulled the trigger, here ended the slayer
the voices they ceased, his head blew away
All in one hour of insanity, on that fateful day
