Brittle Bullets

[chapter 1: the departure]

Hey love, please don't be sad

Yeah, I promise I'll be back

I love you Shona, always remember that

And for our baby's sake, now please relax.

I love you too Jim, & I don't want to be sad

Its just this time the war is pretty bad

Well never-mind, here, take your hat

Just be back before you become a dad.

[chapter 2: the loot-1]

What the hell, You killed him Dan!

I told you ass, not to kill a man

I got nervous, sorry Ron

He tried to fight, so I took him on

Basic instinct, never wanted to shoot..

Forget it man, just divide the loot.

[chapter 3: the letters]

Hey baby, I am doing just fine

Got your letter, last week some time

I was so glad to hear from you

Here, its just blood and bullets, nothing new.

You were right, this time, its pretty bad

Battered and bruised men, is all am looking at
Thursday, those dogs attacked flying in their birds

The scene was chaotic & mad, disaster unheard.

Five are missing, & twenty have died

Couple of us left, with brittle bullets inside

I love you shona, & I'm going to be back

And that too, before I'll become a dad.

.....*.....*.....*.....

Oh Jim, thank god, you are still alive

Just come back honey, my love, my life

Am shattered and broken, something terrible has happened

Last week, they said, you were attacked and are probably dead

I cried and cried till I fainted in my bed.

Am sorry Jimmy, but I wanted to die

Remove you from my world, and there is nothing left in my life.

When I came to my senses, I was not in our bed

But in a hospital room, which reeked of the dead.

Thank god you are alive, but still there was a death

I am sorry Jimmy, I failed, our baby, in my womb it bled.

Now its all dark for me, I am alone, just be back

Cant write any more, feeling blue, looking black.

.....*.....*.....*.....

Oh my god, my love, just stand firm, be strong

I am coming back within a week & nothing ever will go wrong.

They are deporting me back, with the next batch

Just have faith in our love, be strong, hold the latch.

I just want you to know, that I'll never leave you again

God wants to play, but we'll win this game

You are never alone, no matter what happens

Just look in your heart, you'll find me there

Holding your hand, there is love and care.

Tomorrow, I will post this letter as soon as I reach the port

Baby hold firm, just for a few days more

& I'll be there, knocking on our door.

[chapter 4: the loot-2]

Well Ronny boy, nothing much in his purse

Name's Jim, has 100 credits, a 'letter', & a card of his church.

Well what can I say, its just another poor night

Lets divide the credits, & drown him away from the lights.

Don't worry man, come on, let's head back to the port

This time you keep the gun, & let's score some more..!
