Bang

(OB1 observes)

In defining oneself,
everyone defines others:
in or out,
enemy or friend,
good or bad,
trying to decide who is safe or not.

There is no escape from death,
as we think we know it.
It isn't a matter of "if,"
but "when,"
sooner or later.

There are no enemies.
We do not point nuclear weapons at others,
but at ourselves:
we point the gun
at our own head.

The circle includes everyone.
And everything.
