there's another life, right?

as you
observe the rotting corpse
of a dead
rat in the alley,
and listen
to the screams of a woman
down the block,
accompanied by
the echo of gunfire,
you nod.
this is earth as we
know it.
all rust and decay,
but there's a heaven waiting
for us,
right?
let's take a moment
to bow our heads,
and pray.
