Looking down the barrel. Think quickly.

Can you see it?
It’s impending. Imminent.
What are you going to do?
You can do two things.
You can attempt dissuading inevitability, or
You can just wait.
But death is not dissuaded, ever.

Ignorance will kill you a lot quicker.
You pull the trigger, you sign your life away to gunfire.
If today is the day I breathe my last then I’m above “Cause”.
The bigger picture is whether I move or wait, I only have one choice.
To live until I die.
