The Gun in the River


It was a day with wind and sun
He was playing with a gun
Beside him she was asleep
He killed her and took the ship.

The river was blue and calm
In the morning in his palm
He found the gun and decided
He'd try another shot indeed.

The weapon locked on his forehead
He thought he was already dead
When a sign from the river
Threw the gun in the water.

Now that his toy was gone
He wondered what he had done
He felt very sad and lonely
But didn't remember the story.
