My Reasons

We all have our reasons.

There are 12 of us, 9 men, 1 woman, 1 child,

And me. The coward.

She says its to prove herself to the one she loves. I laugh and go on my way. Let her one eye see the truth.

The boy says it’s to follow orders. I pat his head and continue. Let his sandworms eat him.

He says it’s for honor. I look at his sword, glance back up at him, and to my gun. How I want to kill him now.

He says it’s for me. What a laugh. What does he know? His music will tear him apart.

It goes on like this. They state their reasons.

I am a coward. I have no reason.

Or do I?

I love. Thus I hate.

I hate that I love. I love whom I hate.

He is an angel.

He is a devil.

He is my killer.

He is the true man wanted for 60 billion.

Yet no one knows.

I love him.

Yet I hate him.

I will live for him.

I will die for him.

Is this my reason?

Is he my reason?

I get to the last one of us.

He says it’s for the children. The strangest reason. I would love to kill him myself.

But this would be defying love.

I will not kill any of them.

They will kill each other.

And I will be killed.

By the one I truly hate.

And the only one I love.
