Death From Above



DEATH FROM ABOVE

There was no glamour in the death itself.

No fiery wreck

No magic bullet

No fall from the sky;

rather a

slow painful ugly end.


But it was a calculated one,

a long and carefully planned one:

not an inevitable train wreck

but a building collapsing in slo-mo.

The answer to a terrible riddle.


The only glory was taken by the tombstone:

Death by Self-Destruction.
