Let me tell you about the time that I almost died.
No tears left to cry on my way to a permanent high.
I collided with a boom. A big bang called life.
All life draining blood from all knife.
I looked down and said what is that dripping.
It looked like blood from a long way down tripping.
First I faced an accident and then I faced death.
Then I was dying. I felt like I had nothing left.
So much unfolding that I couldn’t even share mad tears.
But I knew I had to survive the trauma of the past year.
So I got back up and saw the wrong and decided to make it right.
Born and raised to fight. More than ready I came to fight.
It’s time for the hardships of life to face facts.
Once upon a time I almost died but I came back.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
