Friend or foe
I knew nothing about him.
With fire in his eyes
he aimed his pistol
at me at close-range.
‘Shut your eyes’ – he ordered.
I shut my eyes.
‘Hold your tongue’- he shouted
I held my tongue.
‘Stand still’- he commanded
I stood like a statue.
I heard my heart pounding.
With fear lurking behind
my closed eyes.
I waited for my last moments
A few seconds
just a few seconds.
A rush of thunders
pierced my ear-drums.
With a shudder
with fright in my eyes
I opened them slowly, fearfully.
With disbelieving eyes
I saw him lying in a pool of blood…..
his skull ripped apart______.
Friend or foe
I knew not anything about him.
Yes, I am still alive……
