Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Shot to Death

Odds are, at least in the U.S.,

That I will be killed by a gun.

And I live in Chicago, yes,

Where lots of killings daily done.

If and when I'm fatally shot,

I hope Lake Michigan's nearby.

I love watching that Lake a lot.

I'd love to watch it as I die.

I am no hero, but comes time,

I would like to hope that I would

Take action in a shooting crime,

Believing I could do some good.

I hope another saved does be,

When that death bullet does hit me.
