Thwarted
In my ears sounds of gun battle
Waiting for the hero to emerge victorious
In my ears sounds of deception
It never ceases to amaze me how many times hope is the ultimate nemesis
Hope that people will do the right thing
Hope that people think the same as you
The hero is shocked that the powers that be are the real evildoers
Yet I keep watching
It’s the movies that hold my attention
It’s the story line that keeps me guessing
In this moment it’s all I want to think about
Who did it, when, where, and why
This is mission if I choose to accept it
I’ve got the map to my next checkpoint
Will I make it?
