Try some writing yourself.
In the high high sky,
There's a great great sun,
On the wide wide ground,
Here's an up-pointing gun.
Here's the gun,
Here in my hand,
Pointing at that sun,
An invisible sun.
Is that a bomb?
Is that a catch?
What does it plan?
Where does it land?
- the invisible sun
POINT, SHOOT and DONE
I lay in the sun,
I died in the sun,
Dying with my gun,
The one I shot the sun.
Hey, this is a MURDER.
Lisa Chen
